Summertime and Christmastime are the busiest in the ER in our local hospitals. I knew summer, but Christmas?
Oh my gosh I just remembered one year on Christmas Eve I was in the ER, I cut the tip of my finger off, using a scissors. I do remember the Emergency room being so busy and thinking, I’m not the only one doing something silly to get hurt. A simple mistake can be a trip to the ER.
It’s that time of the year for a different routine than we used to with the holidays. A study from the National Institute of Health says that ERs typically see a rise in the number of patients they see due to slips, falls, cuts and workplace accidents during the holidays. Please try to be extra safe this holiday season…
