Houston hospitals are filling up, and ambulance calls are reportedly at a 300% increase. This is a disaster in every sense of the word, and it s awful, and people are really suffering, said ER nurse Rene Fenner.
Fenner, who spent three days living and working at LBJ Hospital in northeast Harris County, says they were prepared for the injuries from snow and ice, but not the massive, long-lasting power outages. I ve had dead people come in with higher temperatures than some of these patients, said Fenner.
Memorial Hermann Hospital alone has treated more than 100 carbon monoxide cases, many from families using charcoal grills to heat their homes.
