Wednesday - Mina + newspaper

A lot of cleaning went on, at the hospital this morning. It was announced that the director will come. I arrived there talked to the head nurse Stoica, found out that now they are doing the concrete base for the rubish for that is the first priority and when they finish it, they will continue the work at the boiler room. As you can see from the photo they are useing our mixer for doing the conrete base.

I would like to mention that yesterday, 5 August 2008 an article appeared in the Transilvania Expres, local newspaper about the hospital. According to the article anybody can go in and out in the hospital, as there is no real check, as reporters went into the hospital and nobody stoped them and nobody asked them who they are. Also the conditions are bad, patients in civil clothes standing inside in the dark, having poor conditions., forced to work...They also took an interview of Dr. Grigoriu who says that there is a fence around the hospital, the hopsital conditions have improved a lot, new heating sytems, new lights, new dining room and a new dental surgery which is unique! The patients are not forced to work, but there is occupational therapy, which is pacticed all over the world in all the hospitals like this.

It is obvious that the writer of the article has been paid to do a negative publicity. It concludes the article saying that, Mrs. Stoica is never answering the phone and also that patients are going out to the nearby shop which is outside of the hospital and ironically... perhaps that is a type of occupational therapy too, says the author.

Below is the article in Romanian:
