Pat Johnson is a special kind of nurse. She has helped develop a team of nurse practitioners to function much like the traditional pediatric intern in the newborn intensive care unit of St. Paul's Children's Hospital. She is able to do physical examinations, interprets test results, and then determines a baby's problems and needs from an insight that is a combination of nursing and medicine.

[Burn mortality and morbidity: experience of the burn center in Zürich from 1967 to 1977].
Ten years of burn treatment in a burn center are compared to the ten years prior to 1967: --Survival has increased markedly, due to aggressive local treatment with débridement, topical ointments, biologic dressings, and rapid closure of wounds. --Functional and cosmetic results have improved since tangential excision and immediate autografting are routinely performed. --Favourable results with shorter duration of hospitalization are obtained if doctors and nurses can acquire and apply their knowledge in many cases as is possible in a burn center.
