Overview
- The Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin says it is "am Anschlag," reporting long waits and treating numerous fractures, head wounds and traumatic brain injuries, with a Kassenärztliche Vereinigung practice on site triaging less severe cases.
- Charité reports only a slight increase in fall-related patients and says its emergency teams are experienced and prepared for worsening weather.
- Asklepios in Hamburg notes a clear uptick, with Klinik St. Georg handling roughly double its usual accident load and operating on more than 20 fractures over the weekend.
- UKE is treating up to about 20 weather-related patients daily in its central emergency department, reinforcing teams without postponing scheduled operations.
- Clinicians advise staying home if possible, using shoe spikes and skipping cycling, while checking on older neighbors; Schön-Klinik Hamburg-Eilbek reports a busy but manageable day with more chronically ill patients, and Altona’s children’s hospital sees no increase.
