In Mayenne, a septuagenarian decided to file a complaint for non-assistance to a person in danger against a nursing home and the Samu. According to him, despite six days of repeated calls to the health authorities, no one came to help his wife, who has since died.
AT Chateau-Gontier-sur-Mayenne (Mayenne), Raymond Goulay says he tried everything to try to save his wife, Alice Goulay. On December 14, this 80-year-old woman fell seriously ill. Raymond Goulay cannot move and urgently calls the nursing home where their doctor is. He says he made several calls over six days, to no avail. “I ended up calling the Samu, no one came. They told me : ‘He need a letter from the doctor before we moves“says Raymond Goulay.
