New Year's Eve - Potsdam clinic: Night in emergency room "manageable"
Compared to previous years, the emergency rooms at the Ernst von Bergmann Hospital in Potsdam remained relatively quiet on New Year's Eve. The night was "manageable", explained a hospital spokeswoman on Monday. Ten people ended up in the emergency room with injuries from fireworks. "There were again some serious injuries, particularly to the eyes," the spokeswoman explained. One child was also affected.
The hospital had prepared for the turn of the year with more medical staff in the emergency departments. Ophthalmologists and plastic and hand surgeons were also on duty.

Despite the celebrations during Holidays, the ratio of emergency admissions on New Year's Eve at the Brandenburg clinic in Potsdam was relatively low. This was evident on new year's night, when the situations in the emergency room were considered "manageable" by the hospital's spokesperson. Regrettably, ten individuals sustained injuries from fireworks, a few of which were serious, specifically affecting the eyes. A child was among those affected. To be prepared for the turn of the year, the clinic had stationed additional medical staff in the emergency departments and had on-call ophthalmologists and plastic and hand surgeons available.
