00:11This week, the prefect decided to requisition him.
00:13I had warned, in case of requisition, I would unscrew my plate. I was requisitioned, I unscrewed.
00:18Our week is 60 hours of work, plus 1, 2, even 3 shifts because we are less and less numerous.
00:24It is no longer possible, we had to discharge us.

01:03I am suffering from degradation.

01:07I am 62 years old.
01:09So, 12-13 hours of work.
01:11By concentrating, it's tiring, it's hard.
01:13I sometimes have trouble holding the shock, that's for sure.
01:16For him, the consultation at 23 euros is good, but very insufficient to attract young doctors to this specialty.
01:22Le Temps Presse, here one generalist out of two, is over 55 years old.
