burn unit
Severe scald treatment
A burn unit is a specialized hospital ward for treating severe burn injuries, equipped for the intensive care these patients require.
The term appears in dark humor as a response to a devastating insult or comeback: Ooh, someone call the burn unit—suggesting the verbal "burn" was so severe it requires medical attention.
