<i>Rennaz Hospital Center</i>

4
00:00:58,190 --> 00:01:02,360
<i>At first I wanted to work</i>
<i>as an ambulance driver.</i>

5
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:07,510
<i>And then I had</i>
<i>a motorbike accident.</i>

6
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:13,030
<i>It was a serious accident, yes!</i>

7
00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:14,550
<i>That was…</i>

8
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,920
<i>I spent quite a bit of time</i>

9
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,320
<i>in the hospital though.</i>

10
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,400
<i>When I woke up in the hospital,</i>
<i>I thought to myself...</i>

11
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:25,590
<i>That...</i>

12
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,840
<i>…that I could have easily died</i>

13
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:31,230
<i>and not been here now</i>
<i>with you today.</i>

14
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:42,480
<i>And that day,</i>

15
00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:47,000
<i>everything turned around</i>
<i>in my head when I had this accident.</i>

16
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:48,590
<i>And I thought to myself:</i>

17
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,150
<i>No, maybe it's not my place</i>
<i>to be an ambulance driver.</i>

18
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,400
<i>My place is helping people</i>

19
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:57,360
<i>at difficult times,</i>
<i>when they've lost someone.</i>

20
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:59,920
<i>I thought to myself that...</i>

21
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:02,360
<i>…it was good</i>
<i>to be able to help people</i>

22
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:05,630
<i>get over this course</i>
<i>that I also had to take</i>

23
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,440
<i>having lost my friends and relatives,</i>
<i>very close ones too.</i>

24
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:41,880
<b>Hello sir !</b>

25
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:50,510
<b>Hello Madam !</b>

26
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,800
<i>We did not have an increase</i>
<i>in deaths in the first wave.</i>

27
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:58,030
<i>But in the second wave …</i>

28
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,800
<i>We almost had 3 times</i>
<i>the number of deaths.</i>

29
00:03:02,230 --> 00:03:03,590
<b>Hello sir !</b>

30
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:08,800
<i>And we do not know when</i>
<i>it will end this second wave.</i>

31
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,110
<b>Yes, Cochard Mathieu,</b>
<b>Rennaz death chamber, hello?</b>

32
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,630
<b>OK no worries !</b>

33
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,030
<b>You did … ?</b>

34
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,150
<b>Yes.</b>

35
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,150
<b>All the papers are done ?</b>
<b>It's all good ?</b>

36
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,150
<b>So, it works, so I will come!</b>

37
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,030
<b>See you !</b>
<b>Thank you, ciao, ciao!</b>

38
00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:46,030
<b>Hello Madam !</b>

39
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:15,760
<i>The worst day in November…</i>

40
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,030
<i>I arrived at 7:30 one morning.</i>

41
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,840
<i>I'm looking at my</i>
<i>fridge entry death list,</i>

42
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:24,510
<i>so the deaths that were</i>

43
00:05:24,590 --> 00:05:26,070
<i>taken down overnight.</i>

44
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:29,320
<i>And I see there were 5</i>
<i>that have been moved down overnight.</i>

45
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,280
<i>It felt like I wasn’t doing</i>
<i>the same job anymore.</i>

46
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
<i>I said to myself:</i>
<i>Where will I start with?</i>

47
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,800
<i>5 deaths represent approximately</i>
<i>10 hours of preparatory work.</i>

48
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:45,360
<i>Without the administrative tasks ...</i>

49
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:47,630
<i>And as the day went on,</i>

50
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,150
<i>we had more deaths.</i>

51
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:53,920
<i>And we ended the day</i>
<i>with 7 deaths of the day.</i>

52
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,760
<b>We'll do the haircut afterwards, huh?</b>
<b>You will tell me how…</b>

53
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:27,110
<b>…your hair is?</b>
<b>Will you help me?</b>

54
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:40,840
<i>A dead person is cold.</i>

55
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,630
<i>But…</i>

56
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,550
<i>I think</i>

57
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:47,920
<i>it’s so beautiful,</i>

58
00:06:48,630 --> 00:06:49,840
<i>the contact…</i>

59
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,710
<i>the opportunity to have</i>
<i>that contact with this person.</i>

60
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:57,070
<i>It's not because</i>
<i>she doesn't answer us</i>

61
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440
<i>that she doesn't listen to us.</i>

62
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,440
<b>There you go…</b>

63
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,840
<b>I’ll remove these 2, 3 little hairs</b>
<b>under the nose!</b>

64
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,510
<i>This month I had a death</i>
<i>that particularly affected me.</i>

65
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,510
<i>It was due to a person I knew</i>

66
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:58,030
<i>and who arrived</i>
<i>in the emergency room.</i>

67
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:01,920
<i>And that the next day</i>
<i>I found in the morgue</i>

68
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:03,880
<i>and had to deal with it.</i>

69
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,760
<i>And with this person</i>

70
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,800
<i>I did spend my holidays.</i>

71
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:10,550
<i>He was a friend.</i>

72
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,720
<i>He was also…</i>

73
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,230
<i>He was a friend.</i>

74
00:08:20,470 --> 00:08:23,680
<i>So I also knew</i>
<i>everyone around him.</i>

75
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,880
<i>It was complicated</i>

76
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:30,150
<i>to prepare this friend.</i>

77
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,880
<i>And when the family came ...</i>

78
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:52,960
<i>…they said:</i>

79
00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:54,560
<i>"He’s wonderful!</i>

80
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960
<i>He looks like he’s sleeping!"</i>

81
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:04,190
<b>Here we are, Madame!</b>

82
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:06,030
<b>Your husband, he's coming!</b>
