If several 2022 presidential candidates have raised the issue of medical desertification, it is because it still concerns millions of French people.
The example of Jacques, a doctor in a small Breton village since 1976, is unfortunately the perfect illustration of this: finding no successor, the old "doctor" had to give up taking a well-deserved retirement...
“Being a doctor is not like being a mechanic!
»
“I cannot abandon the patients who have always trusted me, confirms the doctor.
They would have to travel miles to find another!
".
According to Health Insurance, the absence of "renewal" in many rural departments would currently deprive 6.3 million French people of attending physicians.
“Young people are afraid,” underlines Jacques.
They would like to be "civil servants", work together to be able to have leisure, etc.
But being a doctor is not being a mechanic!
You have to be dedicated and spend a lot, a lot of time on it.”
