Duke hospital works to restore ED operations after burst pipe

In the wake of a burst pipe incident, Duke University Hospital in Durham, N.C., has reopened some emergency department beds and shared plans to restore the waiting room and triage area by weekend’s end, according to a Dec. 28 update from the hospital. However, the ED remains on diversion for ambulance traffic after the pipe burst late Dec. 26, flooding the ED and other areas on the first floor.
