14病院受け入れ拒否で、事故の男性死亡
交通事故にあった兵庫県の69歳の男性が14の病院に受け入れを拒否された後、亡くなっていたことが2月4日、地元消防局の発表で分かった。
Crash victim refused by 14 hospitals dies
A 69-year-old man hurt in a traffic accident in Hyogo Prefecture died last month after being refused treatment by 14 hospitals, a local fire department said Feb. 4, providing yet another sign that the nation's emergency medical care services are failing.
The man was on a bicycle when he collided with a motorcycle in Itami on Jan. 20. After arriving at the scene five minutes later, rescue workers gave the man first aid while seeking a hospital for about an hour.
But 14 hospitals in Hyogo and Osaka prefectures rejected the man because of a lack of specialists or empty beds, the fire department said. The man was eventually taken to one of the hospitals in Itami, but his condition quickly worsened. The hospital tried to transfer him, but was rejected by two hospitals. When a third hospital accepted the request, the man was already in extremely critical condition and too fragile to be moved. He died of hemorrhagic shock soon after. (Kyodo News)
