Marie-Thérèse is angry, and deplores a “injustice” since the start of the crisis with her husband, they have taken every precaution, no more visiting small children, no end of year celebrations. Sacrifices necessary to preserve Gérard from the virus, given his comorbidities.
And yet it was at the Cateau Cambrésis hospital where he had come to the pain center in February that he contracted the virus.
In France more than 44,000 people had this misfortune last year, including more than 25,000 patients according to a bulletin of Public Health France.
But according to Marie-Thérèse, who has known hospitals very well since she has been accompanying her husband there since 2008, this is not an accidental contamination. Despite his high-risk profile, unlike the Valenciennes hospital where he went regularly, he was placed in a double room with an octogenarian who was coughing upon his arrival.. Double room which is responsible for 14% of contamination according to Public Health France
It’s a mistake ! when you are an infectious disease specialist, it seems to me that you take more precautions! When we advocate barrier gestures, it seems to me that isolating people at high risk is to slow down the epidemic a little.
Marie-Thérèse also denounces the impossibility of taking anti-nausea drugs for 3 days for lack of a specialist to prescribe it, “the absence of humanity and empathy” staff who refused to give her an explanation after her husband returned home healthy and came out with the Covid.
Gérard who also contracted an illness, a complication of the virus, he was plunged into a coma for 3 days at the hospital in Valenciennes. IHe is still intubated today, and he was transferred to Charleroi hospital in Belgium.
The retiree does not want to file a complaint, but she wants to denounce these facts.
I want this famous infectious disease specialist to be careful and not to infect others. To relieve my pain, to relieve our life that is to come, I want it to be known. He’s a man who won’t come back like he used to. An active man, handyman, it’s over, we took his life, we broke his life
The management of the Cateau Cambrésis hospital“does not wish, and is not entitled”, to communicate on patient care.She invites his wife to contact the establishment for more information or to meet with a mediator.
