Default New toys = A&E overflow at new year?

A friend of mine had to go to the local hospital on New Years Day, and he
had a four hour wait, and apparently only a skeleton staff were on but it
seemed that most people coming in were the victims of DIY, many with new
toys which they had for Christmas. You know drilling through the finger,
etc, and falls on objects left on the floor by children and or adults.
Maybe they should plan for a boosted staff presence over this period as it
seems there is no limit to the stupid things people will do over the
holidays.
I'm surprised the elf and safety mob have not put warnings out on the
media, as apparently it happens every year.
