Twelve complaints since May 2022. Here is the balance sheet of the Remiremont hospital (Vosges), cornered by accusations of negligence. According France info, eight judicial inquiries are currently open. The stories seem quite similar according to the account of Nancy Risacher, the lawyer for 11 plaintiffs with RMC : “People came to see me because they lost loved ones in rather opaque circumstances and they had no information, no respect, no dialogue”. Eight complaints for manslaughter and two for research into causes of death have been filed.
Hospital communication criticized by complainants
The communication of the hospital crystallizes the criticisms. The testimonies agree on the impossibility of accessing medical records. A complainant testified to Franceinfo, according to him: “the hospital refuses to send him the medical file of his mother who died two years ago, which prompted him to file a complaint. Contacted, neither the director of the hospital of Remiremont, nor the lawyer of the establishment responded to the requests. Another told RMC that he learned after a year of the circumstances of his mother’s death. Hospitalized for three weeks for two broken ribs, this octogenarian died suddenly in July 2021. Then in 2022, Paul, the son, “received from the Remiremont hospital, the letter which was intended for his attending physician. ‘I regret to inform you that your patient died of septic shock due to a bacteria named: Echerichiacoli (E-Coli)’. Despite its repeated requests, the Remiremont hospital would never have agreed to transmit the medical file of this patient. The medical establishment did not wish to respond to the various media requests.
