Dijon University Hospital denies letting a patient die last August. The victim is a 77-year-old woman, hospitalized for a fracture of the femur, waiting for an operation that is always delayed. Her daughter Murielle accuses the establishment of not having fed her mother for several days.
“He had some vegetable broth on the evening of the 24th and it was the last time she fed“, assures the latter. A lack of meals that the doctors would have justified with the need to keep the patient on an empty stomach, before the operation that was late in making. This delay would have alerted Murielle, who says she has administered up to acting , refusing to go “against the hospital.” Her mother died on August 31, after being admitted to intensive care for “dehydration.”
In retrospect, the latter feels guilty: “We tell ourselves ‘we should have banged our fists on the table’, but it’s too late“, he assures, fearing that” another family “will find himself” in the same anguish “.
