Emergency recordings at the limit: NDR report from Wolfsburg reveals chaos!

Wolfsburg. A shocking insight into the overload of the emergency rooms! The NDR illuminates the dramatic Situation in the Wolfsburg Clinic, where almost 40,000 people are treated every year. But not all are real emergencies - more than half of the patients leave the clinic after outpatient treatment! The report, which was shot from October 28th, shows how the emergency rooms work on the limit of their capacities.

"Emergency emergency room-Lifeguard at the limit"-this is the title of the gripping contribution, which will be broadcast on NDR television on December 4 from 6.15pm to 6.45pm. The report shows how the emergency rooms in the region are overwhelmed, while more and more people without real emergencies are walking through the doors. Dr. Bernadett Erdmann, the leader of the emergency room, reports that up to 130 patients are treated every day, with many of them arriving after a weekend with a wide variety of complaints. "But we don't send a way," she emphasizes.

A look behind the scenes

The emergency room in the Wolfsburg Clinic is the largest in the region and the only one with the highest supply level. The report provides a deep insight into the hectic everyday life of doctors and nurses who are often confronted with life and death. The challenges are enormous: high number of patients, the need to sort cases of urgency, and the incomprehension of some waiting do the work.

The report also provides important information when you should go to the emergency room. Dr. Erdmann explains that the emergency call 112 should be chosen immediately in the event of breast pain or symptoms of a stroke. But if you have had back pain for half a year, you don't belong in the emergency room! The NDR documentary will show the often dramatic scenes that take place in the emergency room-an indispensable look at the reality of medical emergency care in Wolfsburg!
