The Nîmes Emergency Department in the Gard offers nearly 400,000 consultations each year, i.e. 1,000 victims or patients to be treated per day. Sixty doctors work under stress every day and the hospital has even hired thirty-three security guards to calm patients in crisis and avoid repeated fights. Between road accidents where vital prognoses are involved and home accidents that traumatize families, these heroes do their best to save lives and reassure patients in distress.
