The Accident and Emergency Department at Oulu University Hospital was unsurprisingly busy this weekend due to a combination of flu and alcohol.


 

‘A lot of people have taken sick leave with flu and we’ve had a lot of people coming in with injuries,’ one of the nurses told Kaleva.

The numbers of people going to hospital with flu was described as ‘normal’ for the time of year. However, there was sharp increase in people going to hospital with ‘abdominal pains’ and other symptoms of festive over-indulgence.


Of the twenty people queuing in Accident and Emergency on Saturday night, many had been involved in violent altercations, likely fuelled by heavy drinking though nurses on duty described this as ‘no worse than a normal Saturday night.’
