At noon this Wednesday, silence will reign in French hospitals. A minute of silence will be observed in tribute to Carène Mezino, the nurse killed Monday at the CHU de Reims by a man suffering from psychiatric disorders.
“Beyond the anger that we must feel there is a certain emotion for what happened which is absolutely horrible, unspeakable”, said on RMC / BFMTV this Wednesday morning the Minister of Health François Braun. He himself will be at the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris this afternoon to pay tribute to Carène Mezino.
First tributes on Tuesday
In support of their colleagues in Reims, the CHU de Caen Normandie, for example, ensured this Tuesday morning that a “minute of silence will be held today at noon in each service” of the establishment.
A first minute of silence was observed Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. within the caregiver’s hospital. “We extend our most sincere condolences to his family, loved ones and colleagues in the occupational medicine and health unit. We share their pain and their pain, ”said the Reims University Hospital in a press release.
A minute of silence was also held Tuesday at the National embly, and at the SantExpo fair, where the Minister of Health was going.
