In a hurried state, when trying to cook dinner while also helping his children out with their homework, Michael grabbed the handle of a pan on the stove, not realizing how hot it was. He dropped the pan and pulled his hand back immediately, and subsequently ran cold water over his palm for a few minutes. He carefully dried it off and assessed the damage: the palm of his right hand was red, inflamed, and already blistering. How would you classify his burn? Provide your rationale. How might this be coded? Reference the image below. Hint: under burn, look for palm, and the corresponding code will depend on left or right and the severity of the burn.
