Hospital could not treat crash victims on doorstep

Two women who were seriously injured in a car accident outside Tasmania’s Mersey Hospital yesterday could not be treated at the Mersey, because the hospital still does not have an intensive care unit (ICU).

The injured women had to be taken to Burnie Hospital for treatment, even though others who were less seriously injured in the accident were treated at the Mersey.

The former Federal Government promised to reinstate the ICU as part of the take over.

I lived there as a child, went to a quaker school and I remember it fondly. This is a great blog btw.
