– Actually, we don’t know the reason. Many samples have been taken, but it may take time before we get all the test results. I hope we will get more clarity in the next few days, says Johnny Hillgren, operations manager for anesthesia at Hudiksvall Hospital.
Have you seen anything like this before?
– If it is poisoning, I have seen patients who have come in and are sick in the same way, but not a whole family in this way.
Three of the family members are still being cared for in intensive care units, says Johnny Hillgren.
Did you have time to talk to the family?
– They were so bad that there was no opportunity to talk to the family.
If you rule out mushroom poisoning and food poisoning, what options are there?
– There will be broad speculation that I don’t want to get into, but it is clear that they may have ingested something that made them sick.
