In the hospital, empathy is at play… but can it survive a system on its last legs?
Documentary by Alexe Poukine. 1 hour 38 minutes. France.
In the hospital, caregivers examine their practices during simulation workshops with actors. Whether announcing a cancer diagnosis or supporting loved ones, empathy with the patient is a skill that must be cultivated. But is the ideal of relationship promoted in training applicable to a hospital system increasingly stretched to its limits? Gradually, simulation becomes an outlet for the unease that is eating away at the institution… A session moderated by Florence Rigal, hospital physician specializing in internal medicine and palliative care, former president of Doctors of the World, on the occasion of the Cinema and Human Rights Festival.
