    The Regional Minister for healings, Pilar Farjas warned this week that Galicia was facing the higher 'peak' in the flu this year would be especially virulent strains to include in their famous A, and is not confused.'s Services Emergency hospital complex Vigo (Chuvi composed Xeral and Meixoeiro) broke its attendance record in a week 'history' that began on day 2 and ended, for now, yesterday, in responding to nearly 800 people a day, which is 250 more than the average (540), according to figures from the Sergas.


    The situation is similar throughout Galicia. This is the historical record holder, who sprayed the previous October 2 ', when Urgent had to serve 764 patients. At the time of day 2, reached the 786, 657 on day 3 and 691 4. Yesterday, day 5, the data were still provisional but everything pointed to that would be around 800 users, on the 2nd of January. The largest wave occurred between five and seven in the morning, when the service was virtually saturated. The scenes were repeated in the ER these days, family tensions to the box for the delay in serving the people, claims, stretchers in the hallways and the staff could not stop all day. The average wait was placed in three hours before the flood of patients, the emergency department of Xeral and Meixoeiro (especially the first) was to enable space as he could to accommodate people, much older. According to the same sources said Galicia Health Service, expected a 'peak' of flu and colds, so that the direction of both Xeral hospital as the high speed Meixoeiro decided to admit the patients. To the surprise of Sergas for the virulence of influenza up to 13 percent of the people had to be hospitalized, a proportion unusual. That is, a hundred people a day have been through or Meixoeiro Xeral from that detected the 'peak'.
