At 88 years old, Florin Piersic is fighting for his health. The master came to the care of the doctors at the Military Hospital in Cluj-Napoca with symptoms of a strong infection three weeks ago.

Alex Prunean, Observer reporter: The actor was investigated in different sections of the Military Hospital. In the end, a serious infection was discovered and he underwent emergency surgery on the same knee he had had surgery on five years ago.

Problems arose after the show

The symptoms appeared just one day after the actor had played to a full house in his hometown.

Flaviu Milasan, director of the House of Culture “Dumitru Farcaş” Cluj: The master felt really good on stage. He didn’t give the impression, nor did he seem to feel bad.

After spending three weeks at the Military Hospital, the family decided that the great actor should also be consulted by the specialists of the Heart Institute.

Adrian Molnar, spokesman for the Cluj-Napoca Heart Institute: We saw him before, we recommended that he be transferred to us. He asked to be taken back to the Military Hospital, but today they still transferred him to us for more targeted care.

Observatory sources say he is in a stable condition

Always discreet about his health, last year, while he was on a visit to Dej, the actor betrayed mobility problems.

Florin Piersic underwent the first knee operation in 2019, at a private clinic in the capital. But he never spoke about the intervention. Invited on Romanians’ Day to the Observatory, the maestro emotionally admitted that he lives his life for the stage and for the audience.

Florin Piersic: If someone doesn’t stop me on the street, I’m sick! I am ready at any time to give you everything I have in my soul!
