On the morning of July 1, 2024, Taoyuan Hospital experienced a system crash in registration and medication retrieval due to a sudden power voltage drop, which was attributed to a squirrel being electrocuted affecting the power supply line. Councilor Ling Tao criticized the Ministry of Economic Affairs for risking Taoyuan residents' lives, questioning Taiwan Power Company's unstable power supply and urging for the inspection and reinforcement of emergency power equipment in hospitals. Ling emphasized the double pressure faced by hospitals caused by frequent power outages amidst caring for patients.
