Damage is yet to be determined in this case. The 49-year-old nurse’s colleagues at one point began to suspect that she was stealing the cards, but until now they had no proof.
Between 2022 and 2023, she used patients’ cards for payments for personal purposes. The woman is now accused of making fraudulent bank transactions and accessing computer systems without authorization.
The file is managed by the Prosecutor’s Office near the Galati Court. The nurse has been detained and a decision will be made about her today.
Moreover, it seems that a doctor also lost his card. This nurse was praised for her work and had been working there for more than 13 years.
He stole a dying patient’s credit card
Such cases do not only happen here. In 2020, a nurse in the US was accused of stealing a credit card belonging to a patient who was dying of the novel coronavirus.
She was accused of stealing a credit card that belonged to a terminally ill patient due to the coronavirus infection.
In addition, the patient’s daughter states that the nurse allegedly used the card to purchase fuel and groceries, totaling nearly $60.

The man’s daughter discovered everything
The man’s daughter discovered the theft when she received a notification that her father had made a payment for fuel with the card, although he usually pays in cash. Moreover, at the time the payment was made, his father was in the hospital in a serious condition.
„Obviously I knew he was a hospital employee since other people are not allowed in. I just want to know why he took advantage of my father’s condition to do such a thing.
I want to know how she would feel if someone did this to a loved one. When people do things like that, I don’t think they think that way,” she said, according to the Mirror.
