Emergency Rooms (ERs) at the major public hospitals were full of patients over the three-day weekend, mainly involving cases of alcohol poisoning. Respiratory problems, heart attacks and cardio-vascular cases and stroke victims were also reported. During the three-day weekend patients filled the ERs as well as the Out Patients areas. According to a doctor from the Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital, patients "come here for just a headache".
Most of the injuries recorded over the weekend were caused by knife and gunshot wounds, and motorcycle accidents. In an interesting aside, Doctor Reyci Carrasco from the Francisco Moscoso Puello Hospital, told Hoy reporter Altagracia Ortiz that patients between the ages of 25 to 30 are appearing with cerebral-vascular accidents (strokes), and this is something that should be investigated. The Dario Contreras Hospital treated 113 accident victims on Saturday night 36 of whom required hospitalization.
