At the 24-hour trauma center of the 17th city hospital - a huge queue does not disappear for more than a day. A chain of people with injuries who are waiting for an appointment with a doctor, want to get an X-ray or apply a plaster cast, stretched across the entire corridor.

People began to seek medical help en masse on Sunday, say traumatologists, then there were even more patients, says ATN. Most often it is damage to the arms and legs, but there are complex injuries, such as spine or hip fractures. Such patients are immediately hospitalized, the rest are cast and released home. There are free places in the specialized department, doctors say, but not much.

Despite the fact that the temperature on the street has become higher and the sidewalks covered with ice in Kharkov have become less, in the sleeping areas there are still many treacherous slippery sections of roads. Therefore, people continue to turn to traumatologists after falls on ice..

There are queues not only in city medical institutions, but also in regional. Over the past day, 186 people were hospitalized with injuries in various hospitals in the region.
