Tim Allen recently paid fellow comedian Jay Leno a hospital visit after the former 'Tonight Show' host suffered burn injuries in a car fire.
Jay Leno’s doctor said the comic is in good condition after he sustained burns to his face, hands and chest while working on a car over the weekend.
In a press briefing this week, Peter Grossman — medical director of the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills — said that Leno sustained “significant” injuries, includingto his face, hands and chest. He added that the facial burns are “a little deeper and more concerning.” By Wednesday, Leno had already completed one surgery and was scheduled to undergo a second procedure later in the week. The patient is also receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy and is expected to make a full recovery.
“Our hope is that when everything is all said and done, he will do well, but burn injuries are progressive and dynamic,” Grossman told reporters. “It’s hard to predict, ultimately, what the final outcome will be at this stage of the game.”
