Doctors at the Pantelimon Hospital claim that patients refuse hospitalization because of the scandal, being more suspicious.

Emergency room doctors say patients refuse to admit themselves there and ask if they will administer norepinephrine. "They simply refuse admission, right off the bat they ask: am I going to need norepinephrine? No matter what problem they came for, they say: I don't want to stay here, I saw on TV what's going on," said Fiorela Mitoiu, a doctor in the UPU and hospital spokesperson.
