Chicago's Mount Sinai Hospital temporarily stopped accepting patients Sunday morning because they were at capacity following a series of shootings, a hospital official said.
The hospital went"on bypass" in the early morning, said Roberta Rakove, Senior VP for External Affairs. Hospitals use the term"on bypass" when they stop accepting ambulance runs and those ambulances are diverted to other trauma centers. Mount Sinai Hospital is one of five trauma centers in Chicago, according to Rakove. The US is under attack from within. Is this ever going to end? At its height early Sunday morning, Mount Sinai had 12 trauma patients, Rakove said.
Before the press conference, Johnson noted the recent mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas.Chicago violence that saw 52 shot, 10 fatally, over weekend requires 'all hands on deck' approach, top cop says"You have to stop yourself and ask what will it take before we get a handle on what's going on," Johnson said."Not only in Chicago, but across the country.
