Eight of the twenty-three burn victims rescued from the fire at Wellington have died at the ICU at Connaught Hospital.
One junior doctor (supported by nurses) was on duty overnight to care for 23 burn patients in the ICU.
Patients died.
What happens in the first 12-24 hours in the treatment of a burn patient’s treatment is the difference between life and death.
Three more patients died by the time all patients were finally able to receive fluids again.
