A 24-year-old restaurant cleaner was about to clean an electrical Bain Marie (Hot pass). All of a sudden she noticed a flash of light coming out of the instrument. Although her hand was not in contact on the surface, she immediately developed a burning sensation and erythema on her right hand. She complains of tingling and numbness of the hand with new onset of right shoulder pain.
On secondary survey, the palmar surface of right hand is erythematous. There are no entry or exit marks found. No collateral injury is noted.
