The time of year is here when the chore of removing snow and ice from a sidewalk or roadway can send you to the emergency room. A study by the American Journal of Emergency Medicine found that more than 11,000 people seek medical attention for injuries associated with removing snow each year. While most people suffer from back injuries or hyperthermia, cardiac-related hospital visits were the most concerning and accounted for all deadly accidents researchers examined. Cleveland Clinic emergency department physician Baruch Fertel, MD, said the combination of cold temperatures and snow can lead to the perfect storm on the human body. 📝 Andrew Wulfeck/FOX Weather #snow #shovelingsnow #health #winter
