Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go 'gym' - where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.

 

英国斯托克大学皇家医院发现其病房成为了“口袋妖怪”（现实增强宠物养成对战类RPG手游）的道馆，玩家可在道馆中训练其新捕捉的任天堂精灵。

 

The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards¹ because walking around is healthy. But the trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E.

 

It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major nuisance it would ask Nintendo - which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS - to have it removed from the premises².

 

Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said: 'Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer.

 

'We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely³ to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction⁴ to the important work of the hospital. I'm also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.

 

'Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.'
