What consequences has the health crisis had in medical practices, almost five years after the implementation of containment measures on March 16, 2020? According to a study published by the Ipsos* polling institute on December 2, 2024, a large majority of French people (66%) say they have confidence in doctors. This does not prevent some of them from diversifying their sources of information by consulting specialized sites or from questioning their practitioner about the merits of a treatment or a vaccine at the time of prescription.
Has the health crisis strengthened the links between patients and their doctors? On the contrary, has she created a distance, to the point of changing practitioners or ceasing to consult completely? Franceinfo wants to give a voice to patients whose habits or relationships with their doctor have changed since the Covid-19 pandemic.
