Radiologist injured at work by a falling door


There was an emergency at the Larisa University Hospital – a door in the radiology laboratory fell on an employee and seriously injured her.

The woman suffered a broken arm and a head injury when, when closing, the door moved from its place, came off its hinges and fell on her. Hospital staff alarmed by the incident will issue a joint statement today, writes CNN Greece.

We previously reported on the health crisis in Greece and crowded corridors hospitals. January was a month that tested the strength of Greece’s already struggling national health care system. The virus that has swept the country since the holiday season has sent thousands of patients into hospital emergency rooms across the country, forcing doctors, nurses and paramedics to open closets to once again use extra beds.
