Prepare the crico kit! It’s going to take venous gas! Give him calcium gluconate, three ampoules!
The shock room, the rib retractor or the massive transfusion protocol, hospital jargon no longer has any (medical) secrets for us, the sofa doctors, after ingesting 180 half hours of STAT.
A damaged patient walks through the doors of the Saint-Vincent emergency room and, instinctively, we question – in our heads – the paramedics about the injured person’s breathing, his pulse, his blood pressure, the oxygen saturation of his blood. or its Glasgow score.
The effect STAT very similar to that of District 31, which ingrained the expressions “cell triangulation” and “wiretap warrant” into the collective psyche. By dint of frequenting daily the fictitious doctors of STAT, their expressions make their way into our brains. And the scan demonstrates serious damage to a sensitive area of our frontal lobe, the seat of speech and language.
This last week of STAT, charged and frenetic, allowed us to combat spleen with ricin. Thursday’s episode, the mid-season finale, raised fears for the life of beneficiary attendant Éric Perron (Stéphane Rousseau), poisoned with ricin in contact with poor grandmother Françoise (Chantale Baril), who ‘still hasn’t said a single line in two weeks.
Only the monoclonal antibody, an experimental treatment developed by the Canadian army, can save the lives of the two guinea pigs from Saint-Vincent, who are in very bad shape. One of Françoise’s three “grandchildren” evidently manufactured the dangerous poison, which was sent to the Prime Minister’s office. But which one?
Probably the most discreet of the three, Chloé-Maude (Anyjeanne Savaria). Xavier (Thomas Delorme) and Sasha (Amaryllis Tremblay) already look too shady.
The clairvoyant Édith O’Neil (Marie-France Marcotte) was not reassuring with Eric, before his air transport to the Trenton base, whispering to him: “I’m looking at you, and I don’t see anything. This never happens, there is a problem. » The gap between the enveloping esotericism of Edith, which I already like, and the cold rationality of the emergency doctors makes for some really interesting scenes.
Now, let’s talk about the case of Alix Forgues (Karelle Tremblay). I would like to tell you that his death moved me to tears, but no. Honestly, this character of a 26-year-old diabetic prostitute, at war with her pimp father-in-law, really annoyed me. On the other hand, the sequence where Emmanuelle St-Cyr (Suzanne Clément) tried to resuscitate her was nicely choreographed. And touching.
The author of STAT, Marie-Andrée Labbé, juggles several balls at the same time, in short, medium and long term cycles. It is one of the great forces of attraction of the daily Radio-Canada series. Like District 31we resolve certain cases quickly while investigating long-term stories, such as the death of psychiatrist François Éthier (Daniel Parent), Emmanuelle’s former partner who was pushed off her balcony.
The circumstances of Jacob Faubert’s (Lou-Pascal Tremblay) entry into Saint-Vincent still remain a mystery, as does the presence of Mr. Pilulier. Why was Jacob so keen to get closer to Emmanuelle, by giving up a position at the prestigious university hospital where Tristan (Steve Gagnon) works?
Fortunately, the waltz of purple and black bobettes of the black belt in organizational agility, Laurence Caron (Gabrielle Côté), has been stopped. It was stretching too much. And the rubber band slammed in the face of the nurse Daniel (Bruno Marcil), caught in the act of adultery by his surgeon friend Isabelle Granger (Geneviève Schmidt), also engaged in an extramarital relationship, but with Justin Lemaire (Alexandre St-Martin), the brother of Gabriel (Jean-Nicolas Verreault).

Pascal St-Cyr (Normand D’Amour) and Claude Coupal (Caroline Néron)
Speaking of naughty “fligne-flagne”, very happy that Pascal St-Cyr (Normand D’Amour) and Claude Coupal (Caroline Néron) have finally given in to their respective impulses. With his sister Emmanuelle, Pascal is one of the most captivating characters in STAT.
On Tuesday, November 21, STAT broke a viewing record with 1,991,000 viewers glued to their screens, data which includes recordings. This impressive figure matches the best performance of District 31which was established on October 4, 2021.
The screenwriters ofIndefensible would have lessons to learn from the thickness of the characters and the depth of the intrigues of STAT. The case of Baptist pastor Martial Quintal (Benoît Brière) and his devoted wife Myriam Ferron (Ingrid Falaise) was of the caliber of little Aurore, the child martyr.
Corporal punishments with the wooden rule, multiple references to the Lord, children locked in a closet in the name of religion, the devil of homosexuality, all this was big, telegraphed and unrealistic.
At the time, poor Aurore Gagnon was punished for crimes far less serious than those committed by the creators ofIndefensible (noise of logs in the stove, taste of black soap in the mouth).

With the new episodes of The Crown
Netflix dropped the final six episodes of the sixth season of The Crown, which will bring this superb royal saga to a close. Savor them, because there will never be new ones again. The Crown experienced less strong seasons, like this one, which lasted until 2005. Still, a less successful chapter of The Crown remains a sumptuous and scintillating work, which is good to enjoy with a good tea and a nearby fire. Cheers, love!

Tanguay’s Christmas ad
On first viewing, it’s cute. On the third, it’s still okay. At 74e, it’s downright heavy. First, the little boy paddling on his sleeping grandpa’s recliner speaks like little Zachary in 5e Rank : “Do any of you have any special requests? » Then, said grandfather, who snores atrociously, looks completely gassed with anxiolytics, poor guy (or lucky guy?). The version of Jingle Bells of the Chipmunks isn’t so bad after all.
