Emergency doctors like Robert Brewer know firsthand that hot weather can jam up their emergency rooms.
Doctor Brewer works at a hospital in Albany, New York.

The study came out in the journal Nature Health.
It found thousands of extra emergency visits during and after the heat waves.
Study author Mary Willis from Boston University says she hopes knowing the true impact of heat waves can help hospitals and communities better prepare for future ones.
