Do they still not have a burn unit, anyone know?
Long story short - my kid got burnt and sent to the hospital (not in my care) and I was initially told Childrens, and arrived and they told me they have no burn unit so he was probably sent to Mercy (he was).
Mercy was great, they even have a little play area with like a kid's play area and wheeled in a TV with a Wii and stuff. The only bad part was that his bed/unit was in the main either ICU or step-down unit and more than a few nights I laid awake listening to stabbing victims cuss out the nurses.

No, Children’s does not have a burn unit. Only West Penn and Mercy do.
I work at Mercy and if a child is very critically ill with a burn, they will still go to Children’s, and Mercy will send staff there daily for burn care.

No idea, but they treated my AML when i was 17/18 and every single person on the staff, from my Oncologists to the Janitors were fantastic people.
