Friday, November 14, 2008
The Independent spoke with Cottage Hospital spokesperson Janet O’Neill, who said that the facility has been able to accommodate all Tea Fire-related injuries so far. Fire-related activity has no affected the hospital’s operating room schedule.
The hospital has had 11 fire-related visits so far, including three civilian burn victims who have since been stabilized and then transported to burn facilities elsewhere. The injuries treated so far include one dog bite, one asthma attack, one instant of smoke inhalation, one damaged eye, one anxiety attack, and one person who suffered from smoke inhalation and an ember to the eye.
The Villa Riviera senior home, which is near the former St. Francis Hospital, has been evacuated and the 16 people who are reside there are staying at Cottage Hospital.
Though Cottage Hospital has cautioned people to stay away from the hospital unless they are injured, they also want people not to hesitate to come if they truly do need medical attention.
