The emergency ward of the Poissy Hospital is a digest of all the pains and miseries anyone can suffer at one moment or another. Little hurts, real causes for concern, genuine distress. Everyone comes running here. Christophe Otzenberger took his camera into this service where doctors, interns and nurses are involved in an extenuating round dance, often against death. He observes the medical practice - the inadequacies and miseries, the humor, the fatality. He also looks at medical power, which is even more discernible here than anywhere else.
