The union of Paris hospital interns (SIHP) launched this Friday on its the Association of Emergency Physicians of France (AMUF) This call is primarily aimed at interns serving in the Samu/Smur at Saint-Antoine hospital and Necker hospital, where the doctor worked. Patrick Pelloux assured that he had “never attacked anyone” and defended himself by explaining that the facts date back to a time when “we were too saucy as we were then, that’s it.” In March 2021, the ANEMF published an edifying study on sexist and sexual violence suffered by medical students during their course.
According to the alarming figures collected, one in three medical students has been the victim of harassment during their university life, 15% have suffered sexual assault while only one in ten people report this violence. “These are things that have been known by healthcare teams, by the medical community, for years and years,” she adds.
