"Be careful, we received the new smocks, the Americans did not want them on the tarmac," launches this caregiver in a white smock from the Timone. I take it gently.

Quickly, the video broadcast this weekend toured social networks. Certainly, in this sequence, the caregivers prefer to have fun of the grotesque situation. But the laughter cannot hide the questions raised by these images shot this weekend in Marseille, in the third CHU of France, in the midst of a coronavirus epidemic. Have defective gowns been really distributed to the nursing staff of the Public Assistance of the Hospitals of Marseille?

When contacted, the AP-HM acknowledged the existence of these smocks, which were first distributed in several departments dedicated to patients with coronavirus, including the appropriate department of the Timone pediatric hospital. "We distribute, as and when required, through our storage location which is the logistics platform, explains after a press conference on the subject Pierre Pinzelli, secretary general of the AP -HM. We carry out quality surveys in lots that we distribute. Obviously, we are not going to open each sachet. It's impossible. Here it was a lot of 20,400 blouses. And we hadn't bought it recently, in China. It is part of our stocks before the coronavirus crisis. And we identified in this batch 300 defective blouses. "
The AP-HM states that once the defect was reported internally by these teams, the defective boxes were "immediately removed" and another box of overcoats was distributed to the nursing staff. "In this service, there was no endangerment of anyone, professionals or our patients," insists Pierre Pinzelli.
In a press release, the AP-HM said that an internal investigation had been launched to shed light on these facts. The storage conditions of these blouses could explain this situation. "Three boxes, on the whole lot, could take moisture, recognizes Pierre Pinzelli. Traces of moisture have been identified on the underside of the boxes, and it is likely that these few blouses have deteriorated, which represent an anecdotal number compared to the number of blouses distributed every day. "
A tone that reveals the discomfort caused by this short video in Marseille hospitals. "This video was made public by Cyril Navarro Diaz, who does not work for the AP-HM," said the AP-HM in a press release. It was first broadcast on a private discussion group reserved for our staff. According to the first elements, the nurse at the center of this video, did not give permission to an outside person to be made public on social networks. "
Did the incident cause harm to the caregivers linked to this video, several sources suggesting that they had been summoned by their superiors? "There was no summons, no disciplinary act, just the functioning of the institution," refutes Pierre Pinzelli.
The cataclysm caused by this video is all the more strong as the supply of overcoats like those incriminated in these images is at this time particularly critical in the hospitals of Marseille. "We are told that this is an isolated case," sums up Audrey Jolibois, secretary of the AP-HM Force Ouvrière union. For now, we want to believe them. Now, we remain very vigilant that this does not happen again. The situation is already very tense on this kind of material. If you have to throw away a card each time, it will be even more complicated. "
"We use between 500 and 700 overcoats per day, which is significantly higher than our usual consumption", recognizes Pierre Pinzelli, who affirms in particular that a meeting was held to relaunch a local industry of production of blouses and thus ensure the supply to Marseilles hospitals. In the meantime, the AP-HM hopes to be able to count on a delivery of 79,500 overblocks scheduled for Tuesday, without which its stocks in this area would be completely empty in just six days…
