Because the general practitioner, overwhelmed by a large number of patients in his waiting room, had told him that he could not examine his 2-year-old child immediately.
The doctor, not having found a vital emergency on the child, had offered to come back later in the evening, she lost patience and attacked the practitioner in his office.
The mother who attacked doctor Sébastien Chopin last Thursday, October 27 around 6:30 p.m. at the medical office located on boulevard de l'Almont in Melun, threatening him with death and beating him, was arrested and referred to the Melun prosecutor's office.
Staff from the Departmental Security arrested her Thursday morning at her home in Vaux-le-Pénil.
She was tried in immediate appearance by the criminal court.
The death threats were not accepted.
On the other hand, it is difficult to refute the violent blows she dealt to the doctor who got away with ten days of total incapacity for work.
In the end, the court sentenced this mother to ten months' imprisonment, seven of which were suspended on probation for two years.
She will therefore serve the remaining three months in prison with an arrangement under an electronic bracelet at home.
She is also prohibited from appearing at the Almont medical office, from coming into contact with the victim.
She has the obligation to submit to a psychological follow-up, to exercise a professional activity and to repair the damage caused during her crisis of violence.
The case caused a stir because, in solidarity with the victim - president of SOS Médecins Melun-Brie-Sénart-Fontainebleau - his colleagues in the sector had exercised their right of withdrawal from Thursday evening (time of the attack) to Monday morning , thus penalizing about 500 patients according to their estimates.
A clear message addressed to the population and to the public authorities.
