New strike in the Purpan emergency room in Toulouse from Saturday noon to Sunday morning
After 5 strike Mondays in adult emergencies at Purpan in Toulouse, a new strike movement begins this Saturday and until Sunday morning. The management of the Toulouse University Hospital explains that it is therefore forced to modify the reception of patients. From Saturday noon to Sunday morning 8 a.m., the adult somatic and psychiatric emergencies of the hospital will only receive vital emergencies led by the SAMU (Hello 15).
Rangueil emergencies remain open but will have to prioritize admissions of patients in a state of vital emergency directed by the SAMU.
Patients must contact the emergency medical aid service (SAMU Allo 15) before going to the emergency room of the Toulouse University Hospital.
If your state of health does not justify a call to the SAMU but you then want a medical response adapted to your needs (medical advice, a consultation appointment with a doctor, a prescription renewal), the management asks the population to contact the private health establishments, their attending physician or 3966 after 8 p.m.to be taken care of by a general practitioner on call.
The strikers write again to the management
The strikers’ demand remains the same in terms of positions: 40 full-time equivalents, but the management is only offering 16 positions. The strikers sent a letter to management on Thursday from the CHU, which France Bleu Occitanie has obtained. It is about “risk taken by patients and caregivers when going to the emergency room of Purpan hospital“.
The strikers rejected the care of a patient, who finally died of cardiac arrest, on the night of July 3 to 4, at the emergency room. Caregivers believe that this 47-year-old mother was taken care of too late and it is revolting, management does not agree. The additional strikers call for a reception and orientation nursefirst person you see when you arrive at the emergency room.
Three weeks ago, the hospital management granted two nursing assistants and a nurse to the Purpan emergency room. This is”largely insufficient“Reply to strikers who regret that management does not want to meet them.
