SOS Public Hospital: our revelations on salaries of shame

Nurses, physiotherapists, medical assistants, doctors (contract, interns) … They can't take it anymore. And tell us their payrolls.

Ten days ago, on a Friday, Patricia burst into tears. Too much emotion. His sister-in-law was undergoing emergency surgery after giving birth. And, at work, so many examinations that are impossible to schedule for sick "sick children" …. It's because of the lack of staff. A tragedy for this perfectionist and passionate woman.

At Saint-Louis Hospital, Patricia, 48, nicknamed "La Tour de contrôle", is the emblematic figure of poppy 4, the link between the immunology department and patients. She joined the AP-HP (Public Assistance-hospitals of Paris) some twenty years ago, having first worked in the hotel and restaurant industry. Maid, waitress, receptionist, "good training for the public hospital because I was already multitasking," she says. Next, as a home helper.

The suffering of his brother-suffering from leukaemia taken care of in Necker-and his father-suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma-made him want to engage with the sick and fight for them. She took the nursing assistant competition before applying to Saint-Louis Sans; at the time, she recalled, there was no shortage of staff, on the contrary. She worked for eight years as a carer, but, with a husband of the three eight at the RATP, she became hospital Secretary: "it was complicated to wake up a child at 5 o'clock in the morning to drop him off at the nanny's before going to the hospital." although her salary had recently been raised, she had for a long time "stayed locked" at 1,600 €net per month, a pay forcing her to settle in Seine-et-Marne, in Tournan-en-Brie. Door to door, it takes fifty minutes to get to Saint-Louis when everything goes well in transportation. In recent times, we had to rely on two and a half hours.
