Support Blast, a new independent media: https://www.blast-info.fr/soutenir Meggy Biodore, a 25-year-old lawyer, died on November 15 in Montpellier, the victim of fulminating acute meningitis. Despite 5 calls to the emergency services, no help was given to her. She had to wait for her friends to intervene and take her by their own means to the Saint-Roche polyclinic. She was then transported as an emergency to the Montpellier University Hospital, where she died shortly after her arrival. Her best friend, who stood by her side during her final hours of agony, agreed to testify. A tragedy that raises questions about the dysfunctions of telephone support by emergency services and which is reminiscent of similar tragedies. Emergency physician Sabrina Ali-Benali and Dr. Agnès Ricard-Hibon (spokesperson for Samu-Urgences de France) answered our questions to shed light on the reality of the conditions of care by emergency services, which can lead to dysfunctions, as well as the increasing privatization and the dilapidation of the healthcare system in France by the State.
