How is he today?

He hasn't eaten much.

I did the LMWH

and took a blood sample for you.

His temperature's up to 38C.

Gently.

Turn.

Sit down.

Give me that...

Do you feel all right?

- Jean-Pierre?

- Yes. How do you feel?

This is Dr Delezia.

She works with me.

Hello, sir.

He's not too hard on you?

He is, but I'm tough.

That's good.

Never give up.

That's not bad.

It's not bad.

Open wide,

show me your tongue

and that'll be all.

Very good.

Open your pretty eyes,

I still feel that

weight in my chest.

Relax.

Stay calm.

Come on...

Everything is fine.

Hi, Guy.

- How's it going?

- Okay.

He's the gloomiest

man I've ever met.

Never a smile.

Each time they need someone

to host a village event,

he volunteers.

- What do you think?

- He's a bit...

I meant the patient.

What do you say?

A nightmare. I see ten

reasons to hospitalize him.

He has peripheral

arterial disease,

untreated diabetes,

a lung infection,

an INR at 3.2...

His CBEU shows a

urinary infection...

A new antibiogram

would be a good idea.

That's good. You know a lot.

A few days in internal medicine

would help us see more clearly.

In theory, but not in this case.

Why not?

Because each time

he comes back weaker.

Worse after than before.

So I've kept him here.

It's what he wants,

to stay in his home.

So we believe and deal with it.

If he gets septicemia,

embolism or arrhythmia...

Hospitalizing him would

be much simpler.

What do you think?

- About?

- Hospitalizing him.

Why? We're doing a bad job?

No. What do you think?

- You want to hospitalize him?

- I never said that.

We've kept him two years

thanks to Jean-Pierre.

Don't change that.

Let's make some room...

It's good to see you.

We're short of

doctors around here.

Everybody knows.

Here's Francis.

He'll say it too.

Francis. I'm the mayor.

How do you do.

Nathalie Delezia.

How are you doing?

Enjoy your lunch.

- Do you know the area?

- A little.

Her dad was from Thorigny.

I have a health centre project.

A real estate project.

What'll you put in

your health centre?

A physiotherapist,

a speech therapist, a nurse...

I spoke to Fanny.

She'll join it.

They hate progress here.

They live in the past.

Things mustn't change.

A new soccer pitch, they moan.

Chop down two poor trees,

they moan.

Plant flowers to prettify

the place, they moan too.

Know Maroini's syndrome?

No, I don't.

- Really?

- It doesn't ring a bell.

You usually diagnose

it by chance

via a chronic

intellectual deficiency.

Get the idea?

I have an interesting

case to show you.

Maroini's syndrome.

Look it up online.

With an I at the end?

No, not at all.

So how's it going?

I'm getting my bearings.
