Hold on to your phone. Lines of SOS Doctors became saturated in Finistère at the end of the year. However, 14 practitioners in the Brest branch were able to see 300 patients per day in consultation, with intervals until 11 pm, and sometimes even later. Dr. Albert Fontrier, one of the founders of SOS Médecins in Brest, has never seen this in his 25-year career. “It’s an unprecedented situation. People are worried about whether our lines are down. But it’s impossible to get more lines. It’s hard for everyone, including us physically.”
Mainly flu symptoms
Obviously there is an epidemic of covid, influenza and bronchiolitis. But “People are mainly coming in with flu-like illnesses, which makes them very tired,” he said. Dr. Albert Fonterer notes. One piece of advice: don’t hesitate Try your luck by calling in the early evening for a late appointment. On the other hand, as you know, SOS Médecins does not make appointments for the next day. If there is no more room, you will have to try again the next morning.
