Rats in the wards of the skin and venereal diseases clinic on Rozhdestvenskaya
Patients of the women's department of the Nizhny Novgorod skin and venereal diseases clinic on Rozhdestvenskaya Street reported rats in the wards and posted photos of the rodents. After the story went public, the hospital announced an unscheduled pest-control treatment, but staff said they found no traces of pests during inspection. People argue over how credible the complaints are: medical staff say they found no traces of rodents, while the patients have produced photos.
