The most disgusting thing in STAT this fall was not bloody vomit, a shattered femur or a face covered in scabs, but a hairy tarantula, which has been roaming free for more than a week, causing shivers of disgust in Quebec cottages.

On several occasions, and without any clear explanation in the script, the camera showed the dangerous black critter climbing on boho-chic type cushions or emerging from a crack of a red couch. It was only a matter of time before the spider attacked its first victim. Every evening, the stress increased and we wondered which character in STAT would receive its deadly venom.
It was the talkative physiotherapist Valérie McGinnis (Pascale Renaud-Hébert), who had barely returned to the - daily, who was bitten by the hairy tarantula, probably while eating her lunch in the employee break room at Saint- Vincent.
But who introduced this disgusting demon creature into the chaotic - hospital which has already treated patients suffering from rabies or who ate metal? This is the mystery to be solved.
Being obsessed by nature and very intense, bordering on manic, I rewatched the episodes involving the evil spider from STATyes, it takes what it takes to solve complex investigations. Comments? It was a woman wearing a beige raincoat and white sneakers who brought the tarantula back from the grocery store in the episode broadcast on Thursday, November 7. The exotic eight-legged bibite escaped from a reusable bag, and the house in which she found refuge is not that of a famous protagonist of STAT. We begin to recognize the living environments of our favorite doctors after 281 half hours of listening.
Also, the unknown woman who brought the grocery bags home did not have the figure or look of physiotherapist Valérie. Logically, Valérie therefore had to visit the home of this mysterious person so that the spider slipped into her bag, which Valérie then transported to Saint-Vincent hospital.

Hypothesis: even bedridden on a stretcher, Valérie talks a lot about her sister, with whom she has arguments. And we know that the author Marie-Andrée Labbé never sows clues that do not fuel the intrigue. In short, could this sister, played by Julie Ringuette (she arrives this Tuesday evening), be the woman in the beige raincoat and white sneakers at the origin of all this evil? It’s very possible.
The fictional story of the spider STAT resembles that, very real, of Laval resident Benoit Sanscartier, who was stung last March by a scorpion having hidden in the packaging of bananas purchased at Costco in Boisbriand. Fortunately, the scorpion had not injected him with poison and he did not suffer any serious after-effects.
In STATthe tarantula bite, confirmed by intensivist Gabriel Lemaire (Jean-Nicolas Verreault), almost plunged poor Valérie into a coma. Pulmonary edema, intubation, numb and very swollen calf, we left Valérie in pitiful condition Monday evening.
The world’s most venomous spider lives in the Sydney region of Australia. Its fangs can pierce a human nail, it seems. Be careful if a character STAT talks about a trip to Australia or whether he bought food from that country.
After Valérie’s leg, the terrifying tarantula climbed the shin of nurse Daniel Laramée (Bruno Marcil), who fortunately imprisoned the beast under a Tupperware container, without being bitten.
In addition to the issues ofA strong manthis is the scientific name of the Sydney funnel-web spider, cases to be filed are piling up at Saint-Vincent Hospital. Collectively, we all hope that Rosalie (Marine Johnson), the unpleasant daughter of psychiatrist Philippe Dupéré (Patrick Labbé), recorded the conversation with her ex-boyfriend Francis (Antoine DesRochers), where he confesses to having raped her. She’s hard to follow and love, this Rosalie. Again.
We also suspect that the father of Jacob Faubert (Lou-Pascal Tremblay), the mysterious Alexandre (Patrick Goyette), is getting closer to Emmanuelle St-Cyr (Suzanne Clément) to catch her out in some way. Alexandre could then exploit Emmanuelle’s flaw to prevent her from revealing to the police the real involvement of her son Jacob in the death of François (Daniel Parent), Emmanuelle’s former spouse.
All the hubbub around vegan patient Hervé Patry (Gabriel Sabourin), who is 78 years old, but looks 50, scares me. Last February, the magazine Vanity Fair published a long profile of Bryan Johnson, a tech entrepreneur who dedicates every second of his life to combating the natural aging of his body. Name of this personal project: Blueprint.
Aged 47, American Bryan Johnson, who seems to be Hervé Patry’s model, hopes to live to be 150 years old and spends 2 million per year to maintain a more youthful appearance. He eats only 1,950 calories a day, has fat injected into his face, undergoes plasma transfusions and rigorously monitors each of his biomarkers.
On Instagram, Bryan Johnson often wears a “Don’t Die” t-shirt, a “philosophy” to which emergency physician Marc-Olivier Morin (Anglesh Major) referred to Monday. Hervé Patry and his son Junior (Antoine L’Écuyer) visibly adhere to this “don’t die” movement, which imposes a phenomenal amount of sacrifices on them.
Admit that it would still have been ironic for a tarantula on the loose in a hospital to destroy the lifelong efforts of the Patry family, right?
