The practitioner of the only firm in the city, condemned on November 3 because of a tax debt, is now prohibited from exercising a liberal activity.
Since then, its 4,000 former patients have been living a real medical wandering.
None of the local health centers could in fact take over the doctor's patients.
Surprised by this closure, like the inhabitants, the mayor of Gontaud, Christian Jambon, urgently brought together all the paramedics of the town.
The village would consider installing a teleconsultation booth.

For his part, the doctor, who can still practice as an employee, has not yet received a satisfactory proposal.
He could be recruited by the Mas-d'Agenais health center.
The prospect of a branch of the Tonneins health center in the village will also be studied, although the development of medical activity in the region is struggling to find funding.
In the meantime, this Wednesday, November 30, the practitioner was able to return to his old office to retrieve the files of his patients.
