Synopsis

Paul & Sébastien: Here we have two generations of family doctors in very different types of practice. Sébastien Martin, a young family doctor, works in a city group-surgery in Lausanne, and is responsible for his own patients and emergency cases in the group’s outpatient department. Sébastien’s manner of working, give us an insight into tomorrow’s family medicine. Paul Affentranger, 65, a man with incredible energy, is a perfect example of the type of family doctor now becoming extinct. He knows all the inhabitants in his area in Entlebuch and is on call day and night. He pinpoints the serious problem of his succession.
