Overseas network on November 9, according to the "Capitol Hill" reported on the 8th, an emergency department doctor in Nelson City, British Columbia, Canada, diagnosed a woman with asthma due to the impact of "climate change", and the woman became the first patient with "climate change".
Canada experienced an unusually high heat wave in June that killed 500 people in British Columbia alone, and wildfires caused 43 times worse air quality than in previous years. The patient was reportedly over seventy years old, had a history of diabetes and heart failure, and after experiencing an unusually high temperature in June, her health continued to deteriorate and she developed asthma symptoms.
The woman's attending physician, Kyle Merritt, said it was the first time in more than a decade of his practice that a patient's cause had been diagnosed with climate change. "If we don't look for the underlying cause, but just treat the symptoms, we're only going to get further and further behind," he said. (Overseas Network Wang Xiaoyu)
