A 48-year-old man who had been in good health until now had become unwell while doing brush clearing work for the town of Toureilles (Aude).
Before his treatment, Thierry Aniorte will have made 5 cardiorespiratory arrests. In the end, he will file a complaint against a medical regulator of the Samu for ‘non-assistance to person in danger’.
The family will file a complaint for ‘failure to assist a person in danger’
On France 3 Occitanie, his wife returned to this story which could have ended badly. This Friday, September 30, 2022, municipal employee, Thierry Aniorte is sick with severe chest pain and abnormal sweat. He contacts his wife who convinces him to call 15.
A lack of human resources
Faced with increasing pain and accompanied by an assistant to the town hall of Toureilles, they called the emergency rescue service. If the quality of the call is poor, they manage to be put in touch with a regulating doctor who, as he makes his diagnosis: ‘your case is not of concern’.
It is certainly a lung infection due to Covid (the regulating doctor)
We then advise Thierry Aniorte to go home (30 minutes away) and make an appointment with his doctor. While he is not better, Christine Aniorte calls the medical office of her municipality and the attending physician who is formal: immediate care is needed. Immediately, the deputy of the town hall calls the Samu again and falls on the same regulating doctor who does not change his speech and refuses to send help despite the emergency explanations of the deputy.
Lost and destitute, Christine Aniorte calls her son who is a firefighter. Arrived very quickly, he also dials the emergency service and is told that this is the 3rd time they have called for Thierry Aniorte. Once again, we decide not to call the emergency services.
I don’t understand the omnipotence of a regulating doctor
The son knows that the situation is becoming catastrophic, so he takes his father to the emergency room in Carcassonne, more than 25 kilometers from home, but stops before, at the rescue center in Limoux in the face of the extreme emergency. A nurse from the rescue center resuscitated the man several times. Alerted, the Samu will take over to transport Thierry Aniorte to the emergency room of the Carcassonne hospital. In the end, the 48-year-old man will have made 5 cardiorespiratory arrests!.
If my son didn’t pick him up and without the help of the firefighters, my husband would be dead!
Christine Aniorte confided in this terrible episode: “If my son didn’t pick him up and without the help of the firefighters, my husband would be dead! I don’t understand the omnipotence of a regulating doctor! How can one man decide someone’s life? Our trauma, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Today, I don’t want other people to go through what we went through. I refuse to let this continue, it haunts me. I’ll feel guilty if it happens again“.
