Surgeries were postponed and emergency cases were sent elsewhere after a malfunction shut down the air conditioning system at Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pa., according to an article on the Lancaster Online website.
The mishap may have cost millions of dollars in damaged supplies alone. “The place immediately turned into a sauna,” said the staff member.
The hallways were foggy and in the operating rooms, “there was water running down the windows and pooling on the floor.”
The interruption was partial and hit the operating rooms the hardest.
