This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Don’t get sick on Friday or Saturday,” Pfeffer told Euronews Next, adding that even his colleagues that are not typically organising are planning on participating in the strike this weekend.
The new law that is being debated in the Senate after passing the Assemblée Nationale, France’s lower house of parliament, would also create a referring nurse that could work with doctors and pharmacists.
“We don’t have enough doctors, that is undeniable, but it’s not a reason to replace us with nurses who aren’t trained,” argues Pfeffer, who points out that a mistreated throat infection can lead to serious complications.
Earlier this year, most of the trade unions representing doctors rejected an agreement with France’s health insurance programme but later learned that the price of consultations would rise by €1.50.
Some of the problems echo the concerns of other health professionals, with a recent survey showing that one in three nurses globally have seen patients die due to staffing shortages.
While these French doctors admit that the staffing issues are difficult to solve, they argue that it shouldn’t be done at the expense of France’s family medicine system.
