This Monday, the daily STAT returned to service with a bang, sending one of its main characters to heaven. Indeed, Delphine Martin (Virginie Ranger-Beauregard) died as a result of the heart problem she had while trying to reason with Steve Jolicoeur (Marc Beaupré), who was in psychosis. That’s not all, psychiatrist Philippe Dupéré (Patrick Labbé) was seriously injured by a blunt object that was planted in his neck. A desperate gesture from the doctor plagued by hallucinations.
At the end of the episode, Gabriel Lemaire (Jean-Nicolas Verreault) received a call which raised many questions among viewers, mentioning an aneurysm in Doctor Dupéré. Desperate, several viewers tried to understand, in vain.
Doctor Alain Vadeboncoeur, who acts as a consultant on the set, provided a medical explanation on social networks, which could well be the information you are waiting for.
The question asked by an Internet user is the following: “ Was his stroke caused by the injury or was it there before his attack? »
He writes: “ He had a severed carotid artery, in addition to having lost a lot of blood and having had low blood pressure for a long time. All this compromises circulation in the affected area (left), and can in fact cause a stroke. Not always, but often. We have 4 arteries that supply blood to the brain: two carotids (in front) and two vertebrals (back). The other three may or may not help, but hypotension makes everything worse. »
One thing is certain, this explanation is frankly not reassuring about the future, but you will have to be there to find out what will happen to the good doctor Philippe Dupéré, to whom the viewers have really become attached.
STAT continues tomorrow with another episode that you won’t want to miss, at 7 p.m., on -.
