Burning Out – Dans le ventre de l’hôpital
For two years, the Belgian director Jérôme Le Maire followed the members of a surgical unit in one of the biggest hospitals in Paris. This high-performance operating facility works in continuum : 14 aligned rooms that have a target of carrying out 8 to 10 interventions a day.
The workflow, though extremely sophisticated, has become unhealthy. The medical and paramedical staff keep their heads down. Chronic stress, burn-out, and psychosocial risks win over the hospital. Surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and caregivers, as well as the managers, administrators and directors, are caught in a frenetic race that has no end.
Aware of the situation, an audit was carried out by the administration concerning the work organization, in an attempt to defuse the situation.
Burning out takes us to the heart of work and its excesses, when there is overheating and a threat for it to spread. An effort to understand this contemporary plague, a disorder that mirrors our society, and reaches the hospitals. joy
