Emergency Rooms See Numerous Ice-Related Injuries
February 1, 2014
Our winter ice storm sent a lot of people to the emergency room for falls.
Over a two-day period, Sacred Heart’s ER treated nearly 70 people for slip and fall related injures. They ranged in age from children to senior citizens. Many of the injuries occurred as the patients walked in their own yards.
Sacred Heart also said they had expected to see numerous car accident victims. But those numbers were down, probably because most people heeded the warnings and stayed off the roads.
