Quarantine patients sustained eye injuries in a CT room due to extended screen usage.
My Uncensored Take:
Holy smokes, folk in Yakutsk's clinic are getting a double whammy with their CT scans now causing eye burns - yes, you heard that right! Now, here's the lowdown: Some poor souls had to seek help at the city's eye doc due to blinding UV rays from the disinfection lamps during the scan room's technical breaks.
Rumors on the streets had 20 peeps showing up at the ophthalmology center with eye cornea burns, all linked back to that very clinic. The hospital officials confirmed this, claiming four patients with mild to moderate burns had sought help since Oct 1st after undergoing scans at the clinic's CT point.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the UV lamp was accidentally switched on by the staff during a break to clean up, and turned off immediately after they got back to work. The medics involved are probably in deep you-know-what, and facing discipline for this egregious oversight.
Now, the main gal at Yakutsk Hospital No. 3, Anna Parfenova, has apologized to those affected and assured they'd keep tabs on their healing process. It's, like, c'mon guys, get your act together!
If you're in Yakutsk and thinking about getting a CT scan, maybe hold off and wait for a clear explanation on this incident. It might be safer to stick with traditional exams until this mess gets sorted out. And remember, your health is worth more than the benefits of a fancy scan! Stay safe out there, folks!
- The unexpected high UV radiation from the disinfection lamps in the CT scan room at Yakutsk's clinic could potentially pose risks not only for eye health but also for other medical-conditions related to health-and-wellness, such as skin-care issues.
- As the CT scans in Yakutsk's clinic have been linked to eye cornea burns, it may be advisable to consult with a dermatologist and consider adopting appropriate skin-care regimens to protect against potential UV-induced damage before undergoing such scans.
