Friday, November 13, 2015 in Paris, emergency physicians from Saint-Antoine hospital and Saint-Louis hospital are the first to see the victims of the biggest wave of attacks in France: 130 people lost their lives and 400 wounded were hospitalized in these attacks, the trial of which opens on September 8. And on this night of November 13 in the heart of public assistance hospitals, it is a frantic fight to save lives which is also triggered by the solidarity of caregivers, many of whom have spontaneously returned to support the on-call teams.
Saint-Antoine Hospital is barely 600 meters from La Belle Équipe restaurant, 3 kilometers from Bataclan.
Six years later, three emergency physicians and a psychiatrist bear witness to this night engraved forever.
