Reims: the nurse attacked with a knife is dead

Carène Mézino did not survive his injuries. She was 37 and a mother of two young children. In the hospital where she was a nurse, her colleagues learned the news of her death with horror early in the morning of May 23. “Many people are crying. It is difficult to speak and to exchange with them because the throat, immediately, is knotted “confides Valérie Rozalski, general secretary CGT – CHU of Reims.

Severe psychiatric disorders

For staff representatives, the safety of the hospital is not to be called into question. Faced with crime, they express a certain fatalism. Yesterday, it was 1:30 p.m. when a man arose in the occupational medicine service where he did not have an appointment. Armed with a 20 cm kitchen knife, he seriously injured a nurse and a medical secretary. The latter is out of business. The attacker, aged 59, was known for severe psychiatric disorders.
