Featured Doctor
Dr. Walter Ingram »
Few violations of the human body can be so horrific in their consequences as burns, a fact well known to Dr. Walter Ingram, head of the burn unit at Grady Health System.
For Ingram, a 15-year veteran of treating burns at Grady, the hours can be long and charged with feeling. "There is a lot to it," he says. "You take care of both children and adults. There is a lot of ICU care, a lot of surgery for repairing the surface of the body."
