In November of 2015, coordinated terrorist attacks struck six sites in Paris — including cafés, a football match, and a sold-out concert, killing more than 130 people and wounding more than 350. The hospital system, which isn’t accustomed to getting that volume of critical patients, sprung into action.
By the middle of the night, more than 35 surgical teams had operated on the most serious injuries. On one of those teams was headed by Emmanuel Masmejean, an orthopedic surgeon at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital. Now, more than six years after the attacks, his medical career is in jeopardy.
