When gathering in the courtyard of the CHU de Reims (Marne), no one speaks. On all the faces of the colleagues of Carène Mezino can be read the same seriousness and immense sadness. Both inside and outside the hospital, silence is present by way of contemplation. Carène, nurse and mother, was murdered in Reims hospital while she was there to treat. The minute of silence took place in all hospitals in France, from Rennes to Marseille.
