    Not only about hospital but unveiling something about our world
    This documentary focuses on the relationships in the hospital, and especially in the operation rooms, and show the tension that arises. With the different insights given by the different employees and the show of the 'conciliation' meetings, it clearly show that this is not in any way personal issues.

    This arises from the organization and with 2 main factors:
    • the rationalisation and optimization, never made with the well-being of the workers in mind - and with as many different goals as there are different department,
    • the pressure piling on every worker, every layer of the organization.


    We also see that if the direction accepts to speak about it, they deny any change and keep their focus on optimization, creating another wave of frustration. The audit story and it results is a striking example. Fortunately, we also see that some initiatives are taken as certain layers - and act as decompression chambers. And open to dialogue, where we can already see the relief people can have, already only be listened to.

    Finally that documentary shows the difficult state the hospital is in France - and the few chances it will change only through its administration - but does show a general truth in companies, whether public or private. The organization and management is the first foundation of well-being, respect, ... between its workers. Remove it, misunderstanding will arise, then frustration and the tension will only go on as solidarity will be removed from the table: all that is of concern will be direct impacts no more. Same applies to our societies, explaining partly the withdrawal towards extremes, communities, skin color, religion, ...
