Doctor Ștefania Szabo, medical director at Buzău County Hospital, was found dead in her office, and the initial results of the autopsy showed the presence of an extremely toxic anesthetic in her body. Medical sources suggest that she may have used the substance to cope with demanding shifts, sometimes lasting up to 32 hours. Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicological analyses to determine the amount of substances and any possible link to her death. A colleague of the doctor admitted to administering a dose of the strong anesthetic from the emergency stock.
