Massachusetts residents are hunkered down as the region is getting slammed by a powerful bomb cyclone and hospitals are looking ahead to what could happen after the storm has passed. Dr. Ali Raja, executive vice chair of emergency medicine at Mass. General Hospital, says emergency hospital visits usually increase on the day after the storm. “I’m actually not that concerned about today. This is a huge storm and you guys and the governor and the state have really done a great job communicating that to everybody. So I think people are going to stay home and keep themselves from getting hurt today,” said Raja. “I’m absolutely worried about tomorrow. We’ve got to get the word out to everybody, to please be careful.”Raja says emergency departments like his often see an increased number of heart attacks related to exertion as people try to clear the snow after a major storm. “So please take a lot of breaks when you’re out there shoveling,” he saidAfter a storm, Raja said hospitals also see lots of injuries related to those who slip and fall on icy surfaces. He also warned everyone to bundle up when they do venture out. “If you’re just going to be outside for a few minutes. You don’t think to wear a hat or gloves, but frostbite can kick in fast, so make sure that you’re fully bundled up even if you’re outside for just a few minutes.”
