Patients reaching emergency from other wards
The process of coming of heatwave patients from outside continues, so many patients from all the three floors of the medicine ward have reached the emergency here due to the heat wave. Due to lack of space in the emergency, doctors are starting their treatment on stretchers to save their lives. According to the information received from the hospital, despite repeated instructions from the officials, coolers were not arranged in the surgery and medicine wards. The result of this is that the patients admitted for the treatment of other diseases are suffering from fever due to heat. Only relatives from the ward are reaching the emergency ward with the patient.
