Even if he recognized dysfunctions within the HEGP, Martin Hirsch recalled that this was not enough to make the hospital responsible for the suicide of Professor Megnien.
While the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) recently announced the implementation of an action plan after the suicide of a cardiologist at the European Hospital Georges-Pompidou (HEGP), justice , it, takes its course. The Paris prosecutor’s office has indeed opened a preliminary investigation for “moral harassment” in order to shed light on the circumstances of the tragic death of Professor Jean-Louis Mégnien. Pending the results, Martin Hirsch, director general of the AP-HP, spoke on Tuesday in the morning of RTL.
On the possible dysfunctions within the Georges-Pompidou hospital, the latter did not kick in touch. At the microphone of Yves Calvi, he said: “Obviously, there have been, and for a long time, in many areas”. He recalled that upon his arrival, he had requested an inspection, seized by patients for “money problems in relations with doctors”.
No hospital liability established
As Professor Megnien’s colleagues explained in the media (like Professor Philippe Halimi in L’invité santé de Pourquoidocteur) he also recognized that “the hospital was plagued by succession problems. When a department head left, things went wrong, ”he confirmed.
However, in spite of this unhealthy climate, Martin Hirsch did not hesitate to evoke other avenues to evoke the reasons for c suicide Even if the man was, according to his relatives, placarded and mistreated by the management, “it does not not enough to hold the Georges-Pompidou hospital responsible ”. “Difficult to enter the privacy of a person and the privacy of a suicide,” concluded Martin Hirsch.
