Although the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, said at a press conference last Friday (18th) that it was "extremely unacceptable and unacceptable" to set up hospital beds in open spaces for patients to wait for treatment, but public hospitals were still "exploded", and some hospitals Continue to set up tents outside the emergency room, and allow patients to wait or wait for admission in a place "covered by tiles".
In the early hours of today (February 21), the temperature in the urban area recorded the lowest since winter at 7.7 degrees Celsius. Coupled with the continuous night rain, it was extremely cold.
"Hong Kong 01" arrived at Princess Margaret Hospital at about 3 am and found that there were about 10 patients waiting outside the emergency room. Some of them were sitting on chairs and some were lying on their beds. They were all wearing thick clothes. Some people put on cold hats to keep out the cold; medical staff put on protective clothing and continued to take care of the patients.
From what was seen at the scene, several outdoor heaters were installed outside the emergency room, so that the temperature in the temporary waiting area was not too cold.
Citizen Mr. Chen brought his 51-year-old daughter to Princess Margaret Hospital at 10 pm yesterday (20th). The woman suffered from heartache and fever.
I saw a doctor around 3:00 a.m., but I was still unable to go to the room. I had to wait in the tent area outside the emergency room.
Mr. Chen pointed out that although there was a heater at the scene, he bluntly said, "What a ghost!"
