The president of the Romanian Society of ATI, claims that the two doctors at St. Pantelimon Hospital cannot be accused of premeditated murder.

Bubenek said high doses of norepinephrine given to patients with low blood pressure could not be maintained long-term, according to "scientific evidence". He believes that legislation needs to be changed to allow prosecutors to call in medical experts in such cases, as situations in intensive care cannot be compared to murder by stabbing.
