It’s in the hall of the hospital that everything happens. In order to pay tribute to caregivers, the CHU de Nîmes is currently offering an exhibition entitled “At the heart of resuscitation.”
Through 47 black and white photographs exhibited in the hall of the University Hospital of Carémeau, the artist was able to capture the intensity of this department that never sleeps. Baptized “At the heart of resuscitation“, this exhibition of black and white photographs will immerse you in the heart of one of the hot spots of the CHU de Nîmes, namely its intensive care unit.
Without voyeurism or indiscretion, Rémi Targhetta, formerly a doctor at the Nîmes University Hospital and currently in charge of communication, delivers a story without words reflecting all the commitment and humanism of the service of Professor Laurent Muller, hard hit by the pandemic. This gallery of shared views, inviting both compassion and respect, is an ode to the women and men who work day after day to keep their patients alive.
For the first time, this resuscitation which restores the soul, the breath of life, opens its doors and invites us to contemplate, on glossy paper, the courage and the unfailing abnegation of these doctors, nurses, caregivers and hospital workers. who are the pride of the CHU.
“Resuscitation and critical care at the CHU de Nîmes have undergone profound transformations over the past three years, in order to guarantee patients the best level of care. These actions have enabled, before and during the crisis, the development of new surgical, medical and radiology activities while guaranteeing the management of severe forms of Covid 19. The number of resuscitation and continuous monitoring beds has indeed been doubled during this period”, explains Professor Laurent Muller, head of the intensive care unit. And carry on : “Beyond the technical considerations and despite the isolation measures imposed by the crisis, this exhibition testifies to the fact that the physical link between patients and caregivers remains at the heart of care. The photos in this exhibition show the patients surrounded by their healthcare team, they illustrate the authenticity of looks and gestures. Finally, these photographs show all the trades involved in this care: caregivers, maintenance workers, nurses, physiotherapists, doctors, pharmacists, medical secretaries. May they be thanked heres”, concludes Professor Laurent Muller.
