Hospitalized due to a “tenacious infection,” Doc Mailloux is forced to leave aside his microphone from the podcast “Doc Mailloux and Josey – Free and Without Taboos,” the show’s team announced Monday.
“The medical situation of our beloved national troublemaker, Doc Mailloux, has unfortunately deteriorated rapidly in recent days and we cannot assure you that he will one day be able to come back and bother us on the air with us,” revealed the psychiatrist’s collaborators on social networks.
The co-host of the show, Josey Arsenault, explained on December 29 that her accomplice was “recovering from a tough infection.”
“He’s not getting better. He is still hospitalized. I must unfortunately announce to you that the Doc will not return to our show,” Josey Arsenault announced in an excerpt from the show broadcast on Patreon on Monday.
“The Doc always said it: he was going to continue as long as health was there, and there health is not there, so it’s here and now that it stops,” he said. she added.
Trained and controversial psychiatrist, Pierre Mailloux will celebrate his 75th birthday on January 14.
Renewal
The podcast returned to the web last week without the presence of Doc Mailloux.
Josey Arsenault indicated that she understands if listeners wish to cancel their subscription to the podcast. “I intend, as much as possible, to bring you subjects that we liked, with the Doc, to be a little in continuity I would say,” she added.
“We have to see it as being positive. […] We are in a phase where we have the possibility of renewing ourselves and moving towards something else and if people have ideas or proposals, now is the time because we are going to “brainstorm” that in the coming days.” , added Mathieu Lévesque, a member of the team generally working behind the scenes, but thrust into co-hosting on Monday.
