One nurse described the scene as “very sad” at Jacobi hospital in the Bronx, which received 20 of the victims, nearly half of whom were children.
Hospitals near the Bronx fire were already dealing with the omicron surge.The call from an EMS dispatcher came in on an old rotary phone shortly after noon on Sunday, according to staff in the pediatric ER at Jacobi hospital in the Bronx — a 5-alarm fire in the nearby Tremont neighborhood. Nurses were told it was a mass-casualty event, with multiple cases of smoke inhalation.
Petty said it was fortunate the hospital had enough staff to deal with the sudden influx of patients at a time when it and other medical facilities across the city have struggled with staffing shortages as COVID-19 cases have surged. One twelve-year-old patient died after arriving at the hospital, Petty recalled. “You just don’t lose that many twelve-year-olds to any trauma or illness very often in this city,” he reflected once he was back at home Monday. “It’s a very difficult thing to see and experience and it’s made even more difficult by what we’ve been through with COVID.”
