No it didn't. We aren't very good at determining temperature which often leads to interesting things, such as a metal pole feeling "colder" than the surrounding air in the winter. Well, it isn't, but it is leaching heat faster, and so the body interprets it as such. We had a fun barracks joke, where we would put an iron in an icebath and then wake somebody up and then put the iron on his chest or leg or whatever. It works on the above mentioned limitations of our ability, visual cues, and our tendency to panic. It does really feel like the iron is hot for a bit. It doesn't blister, because believing you are being burned does not produce blisters. In any case, I mentioned this because you absolutely can trick someone into believing that something cold is extremely hot, but thoughts have nothing to do with burns or blisters.
The only piece of ice that's going to burn or leave blisters on your skin is dry ice. Your run of the mill ice cube takes a pretty long time to produce such effects (and you'd need a bit more than a coal sized chunk to do so, as your body will melt smaller chunks of ice fairly quick). This man is entrusted to be a teacher?
