“At least a quarter of emergency services are on the verge of breaking up,” the Association of Emergency Physicians of France told the press. “80,000 beds have been eliminated in twenty years. “While these services, on the verge of implosion even before the epidemic, had initiated a strike movement in 2019, the delirious understaffing and the closures of downstream beds continued. A criminal policy: patients found dead in the emergency room, for lack of care, are multiplying, as in Strasbourg or Orleans… Traumatic dramas for bloodless teams who constantly cry out the lack of means to the hospital!
But the anger is crossing a threshold: in Orléans, a hard strike continues where only vital emergencies are admitted, in Chartres four services have now joined the strike, as this week in Colombes, in La Roche-sur-Yon, in Nantes, Caen… and elsewhere!
Opposite, the contempt of the government is limitless: it will be necessary to make them swallow.
