摘要
法国一名乡村社区的负责人近日宣布一项相当极端又奇怪的决定,禁止当地居民“在星期六、星期日和公共假日在家中死亡”,原因竟然是该地区缺少医生。位于里昂郊区的拉格勒尔社区约有850名居民,和法国的许多乡村社区一样,这里也极度缺少医生、护士和其他医护从业者。这一问题在今年年初达到顶点。一位老人在养老院去世后,找不到任何医生来记录官方医疗细节。拉格勒尔社区负责人伊莎贝尔·杜格莱特表示,“荒谬的规则”是对“荒谬的(医疗)体系”的回应。他承认,“死亡禁令”实际上是一种宣传噱头,目的是试图引起人们对社区糟糕医疗状况的关注。
The mayor of a rural French community has taken the rather extreme and outlandish decision to ban residents from“dying in their homes on Saturdays,Sundays and on public holidays”due to a lack of doctors in the area.La Gresle is community of roughly 850 people on the outskirts of Lyon,which like many rural communities across France,suffering an acute dearth of doctors,nurses and other medical practitioners.The problem came to a head early this year after no doctor could be found to record official medical details following the death of an elderly nursing home resident.La Gresle Mayor Isabelle Dugelet said that the“absurd order”was in response to“the absurdity of the(healthcare)system”.The mayor acknowledged that the“death ban”was indeed a publicity stunt to try and draw attention to the community’s dire healthcare situation in the region.
