Toulouse: a patient hospitalized in psychiatric emergencies commits suicide. The man remained on a stretcher in an office due to a lack of available beds.
“Psychiatric emergencies are 200% saturated,” denounced the healthcare unions. In January, a strike was called after a patient set fire to his bed in a psychiatric unit. The suicide occurs in a particularly difficult context. A thirty-year-old accused of raping a young woman in the emergency room of the University Hospital was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention.
