An old woman from Cernavoda, South Romania was declared dead by the medical nurse working on an Ambulance but she woke up during the coroner's investigation, Romanian television Realitatea TV informs. The woman who suffered from a stroke reacted at a photo blitz. They immediately transported her to a hospital but the woman died a couple of hours later. The old woman lived alone and her neighbours were alarmed because they haven't seen her in a couple of days, local authorities announced.

The old woman was found lying on the floor with a head injury. The Ambulance nurse declared that she was dead without even bothering to consult the 84 year old woman. A police representative said that the nurse refused to consult the old woman even after one police officer insisted to.

The nurse resigned immediately and her colleagues said that she has been working there for the past 11 years but lately she had some personal problems. Policemen need to establish whether the woman was aggressed or she hit her head during the fall.

This new scandal broke out just a week after the press released some photos portraying three medical nurses from a Bucharest Hospital taking pictures of themselves beside the bed of a patient. The three nurses resigned but were not sanctioned.
