On the 26th of December 2019, an elderly woman was hit by the automated sliding door in the neurology area, which caused her to break her hand. The incident occurred at 3pm, the patient there after waited in the trauma area till 5: 20 pm before she recieved a sling or anything for the pain. The hospital failed to take any responsibility for the incident and complimented this with ridiculously inhuman treatment of a 80+ female.
