Cold weather contributes to overcrowding at RIH
KAMLOOPS — While Winter is typically the busiest time of year for the Royal Inland Hospital emergency ward this year has been particular hectic.
Right now ER staff are working overtime to keep up with the demand.
Car accidents, sports injuries, and falls on the ice make up a good portion of what is coming through the doors, and when you add seasonal flus and colds to the list it’s no suprise the ER has been backlogged for weeks with no sign of slowing down.
