“I didn’t have the right to see his face one last time.” The actress Stéphanie Bataille has been talking about the death of her father for several days on RMC and other television sets and denounces the “inhuman” conditions of the Covid protocols in hospitals.
His father, actor Étienne Draber, admitted for a trivial operation, died of the Covid, contracted in hospital. The octogenarian then finds himself isolated in a Covid unit in Pitié-Salpêtrière with a ban on seeing his family, until the end.
A drama among many others in similar conditions everywhere in France. In The big mouths this Tuesday morning on RMC, Dr Jérôme Marty recognizes that the protocols are particularly unfair for families.
“You manage! You show humanity. I always say that a doctor has no vocation to obey”
“The hospital is subject to laws which are crazy! And indeed inhuman. But the hospital does not make the laws. There are texts enacted which are crazy. We are in a kind of accumulation of faults and mistakes. failures that create inhumanity.
Things have changed since, you can put a deceased person in beer in the presence of a family member. But at the end of life we do not have to respect the law. I will be very clear on this. Everyone adapts. Families are brought in at the end of their life. When you have a patient who died from Covid-19, sometimes you make arrangements to bring the family home before the funeral directors intervene.
You manage! You show humanity. I always say that a doctor is not called to obey. Because all situations are different so you don’t have to have your finger on the seam of the pants on everything. “
