University Hospital of l'Égalité, late thirties. The life of Doctor Michel Doutreval, belonging to an illustrious family of doctors from Anjou, is the common thread that Van der Meersch uses to introduce us to the microcosm of the faculty of medicine: from the vexations to which prostitutes and tuberculosis patients are subjected by the faculty team, to the corporatism of the cradle doctors and the opportunism of some doctors of humble origin, who are capable of anything in order to maintain the status that has cost them so much to achieve. Thus, doctors, students, nurses and even politicians make up this magnificent fresco, a faithful reflection of the conditions of the time.
Maxence Van der Meersch was a French Flemish writer.
