This is information from our colleagues at Médiapart. While the trial of the attacks of November 13, 2015 in France is taking place, a surgeon from the European hospital Georges Pompidou in Paris has put on an auction website the x-ray of a survivor, injured during the attack. Indignant, Martin Hirsch, director of the APHP, the Public Assistance-Hospitals of Paris, condemns, wishes sanctions and promises ” to pursue all possible legal remedies “.
The X-ray shows a young woman’s forearm with a Kalashnikov bullet clearly visible along the bone. It was listed for over $2,700 on an art auction site.
The surgeon who posted the photo claims to have “ personally operated » this patient, survivor of the Bataclan massacre on November 13, 2015, that he is « the creator ” and ” the owner from the cliché.
Contacted by the Mediapart information site, he admits that he did not ask the authorization of the victim or that of the hospital. He recognizes mistakes.
