This seems to imply that most people who die are burn victims? (It feels like this is a stupid question, but I'm not sure of the answer so eh. Asking anyways.)

This seems to imply that most people who die are burn victims? (It feels like this is a stupid question, but I'm not sure of the answer so eh. Asking anyways.) Would people at risk of a inhalation injury actually pass through you often? You're in a burn unit, so I'd assume that means you mostly get burn victims, and inhalation injuries would be pointed somewhere else?

> imply that most people who die are burn victims Inhalation injury is a subset of burn trauma. The flow control is "Ambulance inbound from fire" -> ER calls trauma alert -> trauma team meets the ambulance(s) at the ER door. Those with inhalation injury are sorted from there.
