A surgeon had posted last April 3 a little note in his office explaining “that due to a social movement of Dr. Henri Robin, he does not [recevrait] no SNCF employee to date. ”A complaint was filed against him.
You can laugh at anything, but not with just anyone. An orthopedic surgeon targeted by a complaint filed with the Seine-et-Marne departmental council of the Order of Physicians has just learned the hard way.
Social movement of Dr Henri Robin
On the door of his office, in Pontault-Combault (Seine-et-Marne), the 57-year-old practitioner posted a little note on April 3 explaining “that due to a social movement by Dr. Henri Robin, he born [recevrait] To date, no SNCF employee “. He specifies, mutinous,” that in the event of a problem, they can consult at the Nogent clinic where orthopedists do not go on strike (…) By taking the RER E, change to Val de Fontenay to take the RER A back to Nogent, plan 1 out of 3 RER (about 3 hours) “.
The practitioner is also ironic about the profession of train conductors, who have “their ass on a chair by pressing a button and a pedal, 6:37 a day”, and siding with the “real weak”, among which the often precarious users of the RER, of which he himself is a part.

“Inappropriate behavior”
The poster, photographed, quickly made the rounds of the Web. An individual takes it in the first degree and denounces an “inappropriate behavior”, demanding a “call” to order to the departmental council of Seine-et-Marne of the Order of Physicians. “What will it be tomorrow, a refusal of a skin color, an origin, a sexual orientation …!?”, Justifies the complainant.
“The council sent me a letter with the content of the text and I will now have to give my version of the facts”, comments Doctor Henri Robin, visibly more amused than worried. “It was a joke. If a railway worker showed up, of course I would take him. In practice, I never refused anyone.” The poster, still on the wall of his office, was intended to try “to do something funny” to express his “nervousness”. “95% of people think it’s turned out well,” he says happily.
5th class ticket
If the complaint is successful, the surgeon could in particular be reminded of Article L1110-3 of the Public Health Code, which stipulates “that no person may be discriminated against in access to health care. prevention or care “. The Hippocratic Oath also specifies that doctors must respect “all people, their autonomy and their will, without any discrimination according to their condition or their beliefs.”
Currently, doctors refusing to treat on the grounds of discrimination risk, in theory, a 5th class fine (from 1,500 to 3,000 euros) and a de-subsidization of health insurance funds. Refusal of treatment is also not possible in a life-threatening emergency.
The right to refuse treatment
Nevertheless, article 47 of the Code of medical ethics provides that “except in the case of emergency and one in which he would fail in his duties of humanity, a doctor has the right to refuse his care for professional or personal reasons. whatever the circumstances, the continuity of care for the sick must be ensured. Except in the case of emergency and one in which he would fail in his humanitarian duties, a doctor has the right to refuse his care for professional or personal reasons “.
So as not to be bothered, the doctor must therefore ensure the continuity of care and forward, for example, the patient’s file to a colleague. It is also preferable to seek the advice of the medical order, which most often advises to warn the patient by sending him a registered letter with AR.
