On January 19, the regional headquarters of BFMTV revealed the circulation, within the intensive care unit of the Édouard-Herriot hospital in Lyon, of a questionnaire relating to the sexual practices of healthcare workers.
Broadcast since December, it asked important questions relating to private life and which, in a professional context, could amount to sexual harassment. The questionnaire, also posted in some guard rooms, asked questions such as: “Do you practice Fellatio, Cunnilingus, Sadomasochism or do you like receiving a finger in the anus”.

A report was submitted for “serious and imminent danger”
Enough to make some people deeply uncomfortable. employees. One of them had also reported the facts to the management of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (CVL) through the FA-FPH union (Autonomous Federation of Hospital Civil Service).
This agent, whose identity was reported to her colleagues, is now the subject of intense harassment by the author of the questionnaire and her colleagues. Second The Parisianhe would be the hospital’s civil service officer “Insulted on social networks and attacked on December 23rd when she took her place from a sexual object, made of plaster, representing a male sex (hand-signed by several service employees)”, which cites the FA-FPH. Following this attack and “this psychological shock”she would have been admitted to the emergency room and “been placed on sick leave”.

Unacceptable behavior in the name of the “Carabin spirit”
This is not the first time that public hospitals have been accused of sexual harassment. In 2015, a fresco located in a relaxation room for interns at the Clermont-Ferrand hospital, and which imitated a collective rape between superheroes, sparked a heated controversy, before being deleted.
Last January, a ministerial note noted the removal of frescoes of a pornographic or sexist nature in the guard rooms, which many health workers become fond of in the name of the “Carabin spirit”… Often with contempt for the well-being and safety of women who swell their ranks.
In 2017, a study by the National Interunion of Medical Trainees (ISNI) showed that 6 out of 10 trainees experience situations of ordinary sexism in the context of their work on a daily basis. 8.7% were victims of sexual harassment.
