Patients, who witnessed the incident claim that the man and his son begun a scandal in the institution's halls:

"They run around the hall, afterward I heard someone scream and cry. We all saw it. Even if someone passed away during the night, is it worthy a beating? They threatened the doctor, said that if she will make a sound they will kill her."

"We were in the room and heard the commotion in the hall. I do not believe it was the doctor's fault, as they take care of us akin to small children."
