Bruno, dedicated paramedic but worried about his profession

“It is time to act for this profession and for the government to realize how essential this profession is to make hospitals work.“, says Bruno Basset, 48, business manager and ambulance driver in Pierre-Bénite (Rhône). Invested in his profession since he was 16, he describes today “a shortage of personnel, a flight (…), a weariness“which no longer allow public service missions to be carried out.

It must be said that the paramedics win”minimum wage, or barely more, while we work incredible hours. You might as well go find a less restrictive, less exhausting job“. A few weeks before the presidential election, Bruno Basset explains that he is “neither left nor right. I’m extremely indecisive, I’m waiting for words strong“. He claims to be better considered, with regard to the social utility and the working conditions of the paramedics.

“My voice counts” is a series of reports that give citizens a voice. The franceinfo channel 27 reporting teams crisscrossed the territories to meet the French people in order to question them about their concerns and expectations vis-à-vis politics and in particular presidential candidates.
