Surge in flu filling up N.H. hospitals (copy)

A surge in flu cases is filling up New Hampshire hospitals and causing longer waits for some patients.

The Albert Schweitzer Hospital (ASZ) in Dordrecht has had to cancel some planned operations due to the current flu epidemic. In addition, the hospital is planning fewer operations. Every bed was occupied in recent weeks and the Dordrecht hospital expects this to remain the case in the coming weeks. According to the ASZ, patients sometimes have to stay overnight in the emergency room.
