20 minutes – SOS of doctors in distress on Instagram

We will work fifty, sixty or seventy hours a week. We don’t know what’s going to happen to us. These will be very difficult months. It is not the virus that is circulating, it is people. Stay home! Here are a few words from Matthias, assistant doctor in the canton of Vaud. It’s through the Instagram account Parolesdedoc that the young man expresses his fears, like many other practitioners.

Since its creation on Sunday, the testimonies of the medical profession have been enchanted. It is in front of the camera that general practitioners, assistant physicians and psychiatrists from all over French-speaking Switzerland express their concerns.

The ultimate goal is to get you this message: we are currently following the Italian curve of the number of new cases, with all the disasters that compose it. Let’s flatten this curve together: stay home! can we read in legend of the very first publication.

Miss and doctor: the double cap not negligible

The young woman regrets not being there to provide help to her colleagues. I had a knee surgery a few days ago and I’m home. My recovery must last another six to eight weeks, but I usually exercise at home to return to work as quickly as possible. However, with some 16,000 followers on Instagram, the one who was Miss Switzerland in 2015 has a great influence. I try to support my colleagues through my social networks by sharing their testimonies and their videos, she explains.
