Sorting of patients: the French Hospital Federation considers the Parisian doctors' platform "useless"

2021-03-30T16:52:54.386Z


Forty-one resuscitators had signed a platform on Sunday alerting the government that hospitals in Ile-de-France would soon be forced to sort patients.


"

Our doctors and directors regret the chosen public expression, whose vehemence is likely to worry patients and their families

", worries the French Hospital Federation of Île-de-France (FHF), in a press release published on Tuesday March 30.

The association which brings together all the Ile-de-France hospitals outside the AP-HP wishes to dissociate itself from the platform of 41 Parisian resuscitators, who brandished last Sunday in the JDD, the ultimatum of the possible sorting of patients in the region , where the threshold of 80% of unscheduled operations has been crossed.

"

This sorting will concern all patients, Covid and non-Covid, in particular for the access of adult patients to critical care"

, write these AP-HP crisis directors.

The situation is indeed very critical in Île-de-France,

answers

Le Figaro,

Serge Blisko, president of the FHF IdF,

but it is useless to panic patients and their families

".

With an intensive care bed occupancy rate close to 100% and an incidence rate bordering on 800 new contaminations per 100,000 inhabitants, the region "

certainly faces extreme tension but patients must not flee hospitals

".

Retain care

Seeing patients refusing to come for treatment is the fear of these doctors in peripheral hospitals.

"

We welcome everyone even if it is difficult,

" adds the former doctor who served as a deputy between 1997 and 2012. He refuses that "

people believe that if they are too old or too sick, we will not cure them

”.

Impossible for him to forget the total stoppage of consultations last March, a situation "

unthinkable today

" which "

must not happen again

".

Unlike the first confinement, during which there was almost no trauma accident, life goes on and non-Covid patients continue to perform services.

"

We are not in a situation of sorting but of prioritization

", assures the president of the FHF.

He insists: the French must come to consult when they are sick.

We must continue to treat people,

” he warns, even if “

the caregivers are doing badly and the teams are exhausted

”.
