A Florida hospital hasn't had running water for days, an increasingly dire situation that's forcing patients and staff to use plastic bags for toilets.
Health Park Medical Center began evacuating patients at the highest risk on Thursday, via ambulance and helicopter."They’re airlifting kids and hospice patients out because there’s no water," said a patient named Roberta Hines, who was treated at the hospital after she hurt herself in a fall. Hines, 63, spoke with an NBC News reporter when she came outside the facility on Friday to smoke a cigarette. As she spoke, helicopters could be seen landing and taking off from the hospital.
A patient named Michelle, who declined to give her last name, said she was taken to Health Park after the storm struck because she got hit by a piece of wood. As Ian's winds intensified, the hospital workers said they moved patients into the hallways for safety and brought patients up to higher floors from the ground level.
