Thread: News about Pat McCarthy

I didn't want to bother Pat, but I put in a quick call to him. He says he was burned pretty badly on his back and they aren't sure yet about skin grafts and all. He was stick welding some parts for a friend and somehow his flannel shirt caught on fire. He put it out, and evidently it wasn't out all the way, and before he knew it he was really on fire. Says there isn't much left of the shirt.

I told him we were all concerned and if we could do anything at all for him to let us know through his friend. He says the drugs they are giving him are pretty good, but all the Nurses are married, so he is striking out there. At least he still has a sense of humor.

This should be a wake up call to all of us who weld and work with power equipment in our shops and garages. There is so much there that can hurt us very quickly. My Son Dan has lots of shirts at the shop with big burned holes in them. Evidently there was something in Pats shirt that burned hot and fast.

We wish him a speedy recovery.

thanks for the update don. if you talk to him again soon give him our best.

Thankyou street racer and Don for the info on Pat's injuries. I too will include him in my prayers. Damn about all the nurses being married Pat, just turn on the Irish charm and one or two may want to play... Al the best in a speedy recovery Pat.

Might be a polyester or polyester blend...........not good with fire.
