It is the largest hospital in Marseille: La Timone. Four hectares in the heart of the Marseille city. A huge health machine with no fewer than 49 operating theaters and more than 800 rooms. It is also the headquarters of 15, the regulation center, on which 3 million inhabitants of the region depend. 2500 calls to be processed every day. For several months, we followed the doctors from the emergency room or the Samu. A daily newspaper at a hundred miles an hour in this city like no other, renowned for its bloody news stories. Score-settling, fights or road accidents… the interventions follow one another at a frantic pace. One of Timone’s specialties: hand surgery. You will see how surgeons will try to repair the hand of a carpenter who severed three fingers through clumsiness. Doctors face death every day and dedicate their lives to trying to save others. Not to mention attacks of dementia, psychiatric illnesses or unconscious behaviors. They endure terrible scenes or experience magical moments. Marseille emergency workers, foolproof white coats.
