this Wednesday, Michel Cymes could not escape THE question that has agitated the hospital world since the accusations of infectious disease specialist Karine Lacombe towards the emergency media. “
I would absolutely not comment on what was said, on what he did or did not do, because I never spoke about that with him,”
explained the French's favorite doctor before to also specify
“I know Karine Lacombe very well and she is someone I also like”
.
If he touches on the revelations made by the infectious disease specialist, Michel Cymes nevertheless explains that he has already witnessed
“unacceptable attitudes in the services”
.
“I saw department heads who were completely temperamental, who still thought they were in the 19th century. When you didn't give him the right instrument in the OR, he would throw it in your face
,” he says. However, the PAF doctor assures that he has never witnessed any inappropriate behavior
“in terms of sexuality”
.
“In my entire career, I have never seen inappropriate behavior from a head of department, a head of clinic or the internet, towards external people or young women or young doctors. »

“If today there are guys who, because they are doctors, allow themselves to do this, we must denounce them. The #Metoo so much the better!”
Michel Cymes welcomed a phenomenon that is taking hold in the hospital environment, while reminding that, even if it is becoming more feminine, it remains very masculine.
“When I was a young intern at the hospital, the doctors were men and all the nurses were women. There was no diversity.”
“It creates relationships that are a bit special,”
he explains.
“I asked myself the question”
The doctor makes no secret of having “asked the question”
himself
.
“Like all young men, I flirted (...) I With what comes out everywhere, I said to myself '
take a little flashback on your life, ask yourself if there isn't a day when you were a little borderline?
'”,
admitted Michel Cymes. And to conclude:
“I have never made an inappropriate gesture towards a woman”
. Before finally fearing, with a smile on his face:
“after what I am going to say, there is one who will wake up tomorrow and who will call the AFP…”
