Retired physician Dragos Stanescu, 68, died at the end of November in the ATI section of Sf Pantelimon County Hospital in Focsani, after dying at home for two weeks. The head of the hospital claims that the patient had refused transfer to the COVID-19 hospital in Adjud.

Stanescu lay dying alone for two weeks at home, with a hip fracture and three broken ribs, after doctors refused to operate on him because he had tested positive for COVID-19, writes Libertatea.

The manager of the St. Pantelimon County Hospital in Focsani, Elena Codruta Neagu, claims that the patient refused transfer to Adjud’s COVID-19 hospital, asking to be left at home. Neagu says protocol was followed.

The family does not understand why a bed could not be found for Infectious’s former doctor. The retired doctor came home to hallucinate from fever.

On November 16, Stanescu returned to the hospital. The family says he was offered surgery because the coronavirus isolation period had ended. His condition worsened and he died on November 20 in Intensive Care.
