Association Robin Richard Antenne Suisse - Genève J'ai demandé ce matin à ce qu'une partie importante de la pétition en soutien à Robin puisse être traduite en anglais par une personne totalement bilingue afinde pouvoir la diffuser de manière plus massive et toucher les anglophones. Avant toute chose je tiens à remercier de tout coeur le formidable boulot de Antoine Klonouski fils de Marjorie Celia bilingue FR>Anglais et qui a traduit la pétition de Robin ! Voici son texte traduit en anglais selon la proposition que j'ai faite car traduire les "mises à jour" aurait été un travail trop long à mon avis... Who is Robin? Robin is a child who has had the misfortune to go with his twin brother Maxime, both older then 14 years old, in school trip organized by their college - College Simone de Beauvoir in Vitrolles - "crossing the department ATV ". Two days after the start of this adventure, March 29, 2007, in the town of Trets (13), while Robin has just won the race of the day, he is struck on the head by a single thunderbolt, heard more than 20km away, leaving the lifeless. The shock of the lightning that crossed from head to feet is incredible power between 400,000 and 2,000,000 volts, 30,000 ° C, between 30,000 and 300,000 amperes, then it is projected to more than 10 meters on the edge a cliff, where his brother Maxime find him. Max White the organizing teacher, then practice immediately resuscitation and brings back to life while waiting for rescue. In La Timone, Robin is Alive! He survived such an accident, but it is in a deep coma and burned all the way from lightning and in a state deemed hopeless by the medical harassing parents for the "disconnect". Against the advice of the doctors, parents refuse to complete their son and there begins a long battle for life! Parents do not give up, they make every day the trip to Hyères (83) 120 km from their home to boost Robin and try to get out of that coma. And after eight months, Robin leaves the coma. But the medical profession, very annoyed and probably offended by that rebound will do everything to prevent this development, even to break his arm, denying the superb advanced Robin. Parents, Annick and Bruno, determined to prove that Robin came out of the coma, should even make a hunger strike that Robin had exams to prove it. Tardieu and Professor of Bicetre in Paris in their favor. After two years, after intense suffering, struggle, work from Robin and his parents, brother and sister, on the intervention of several personalities such as Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin then Minister of Health Serge Dassault, or Gilbert Collard, a lawyer and friend of parents regularly covered by the media such as the famous La Provence newspaper or Radio Maritima, and supported by a growing number of all the friends and of course Association RICHARD Robin, Robin is finally transferred to Marseille. But it is very difficult to convince the medical profession he is mistaken. Robin still two years in the center of Marseille without care of physio and kept in bed until 16h and 17h to bed again. The only obsession of the head of service is "when is it that Robin is going home" at all costs. Yet Robin progressing with the work of his parents, he now stands with help. Annick and Bruno RICHARD, exasperated by the attitude of the doctors again, call on Mr Eric Diard then Deputy and Xavier Bertrand, then Minister of Health, who hear and come to their aid. The Minister very touched by the situation decides to take Robin and immediately change center, to bring him to Paris for the surgery of the mouth is blocked since the accident, and it is supported in a center so that he has finally adapted care. Finally January 10, 2012, Robin took off for Paris. March 8, 2012, as expected, Robin is operated successfully in the mouth by the famous Professor Lantieri, the Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris, but the presidential elections come and originally planned care program is stopped. And Robin was again abandoned by the medical profession that makes fun of his royal status and care it should have, leaving every day in untold suffering. But parents give up, and do not even have to redo two hunger strikes in front of the Ministry of Health Ms. Marisol Touraine to be heard and that we resume the planned treatment. Yet Robin continues to grow with only the help of his parents ... Today, Robin is for a period of 3 months (rule of the center reserved for Robin still favorable treatment ...) in the Coubert rehabilitation center (77), where it has a bit more care, but not enough, about 2 to 3 hours of actual physio week. It is well treated. He expects a new intervention for his mouth to finish the job abandoned by Professor Lantieri for very questionable reasons. Parents to know its history and denounce all abuses and inaction, and even bad faith of the medical profession, decided to write a book "Robin, the day the sky was rent" to Jacob-Duvernet Editions. In April 2013, Marisol Touraine and François Hollande, letters in support, pledged that Robin can provide care tailored to their pathology. To date, these writings are only empty promises since nothing has changed in the care program that is delivered to it. This petition aims to react the President of the Republic and the Minister of Health and Social Affairs, that Robin is finally treated as it should be. Because we expect our leaders to their commitments, especially when they are written. Cristelle Centanin - ARR antenne Suisse-Genève http://asso.robinrichard.free.fr/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=885
