The ice and slippery roads have filled the traumatology wards. In the last 24 hours, 178 people called emergency services reporting injuries. Thirty-nine of them were hospitalized, with doctors managing to perform 18 surgical interventions.
According to data published by the Institute of Emergency Medicine (IMU), 306 visits were recorded in the last 24 hours. Following medical evaluations, 39 patients required hospitalization, having been diagnosed with various types of injuries.
“Due to the severity of the fractures, 18 patients needed surgical interventions. Seventy patients consulted the neurosurgeon, of whom 11 required hospitalization and 2 people underwent emergency surgery,” IMU notes.
