Hippocrate (English: Interns) is a French television medical drama series, which was broadcast from 26 November 2018 on Canal+. It was created and directed by former medical doctor Thomas Lilti as a spin-off from his 2014 film of the same name. The series is set in the Raymond Poincaré Hospital and follows three interns, Chloé (Louise Bourgoin), Alyson (Alice Belaïdi) and Hugo (Zacharie Chasseriaud [fr]), as well as forensic pathologist Arben (Karim Leklou). All four are assigned as ward doctors to the Internal Medicine department when the usual doctors on duty have been home quarantined due to an unknown infection. Hippocrate's first season of eight episodes was co-written by Lilti, Anaïs Carpita [fr] and Claude Le Pape [fr]. Hospital scenes were filmed in a disused wing of the Centre Hospitalier Robert Ballanger (Robert Ballanger Hospital Centre) using equipment from the associated hospital.
Lilti announced in November 2018 that shooting the second season was due to begin in late 2019. Filming of that season began in January 2020 but was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France. During France's first nation-wide lockdown, from March to May 2020, Lilti resumed medical duties to assist hospital staff where he had been filming and also provided medical equipment, which had been purchased for the series. The second season was broadcast from 5 April 2021 with Bourgoin, Belaïdi, Leklou and Chasseriaud reprising their roles. For this series the hospital's Emergency Department is flooded and patients are transferred to Internal Medicine where the team deal with greater work loads and personal issues. All 16 episodes of both seasons were streamed in Australia via SBS on Demand from 8 September 2022. In June 2021 Lilti announced plans for a third season, filming started in March 2023 with broadcasting due in September 2024.
Plot
Raymond Poincaré Hospital's Internal Medicine's staff are sent home to quarantine after a patient died of an unknown pathogen. Only three interns are available to treat the ward's patients: Chloé, Alyson and Hugo. They work with reduced nursing staff. Head of their department, Manuel monitors them from his home; he is Chloé's secret lover. Pathologist Arben is reassigned to Internal Medicine and has not treated a live patient in five years. Chloé hides her heart valve operation from others and aspires to become an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) doctor. Hugo's mother, Muriel, heads ICU and had mentored Chloé. Hugo seeks popularity with his peers and over-estimates his abilities. He initially lies about his mistake with an attempted suicide patient, Marion. Alyson and Hugo become lovers. With hospital administrator Nathalie's permission the interns reduce patient numbers to lighten their work load. Muriel opportunistically moves her post-ICU patients into Internal Medicine's newly vacated rooms. Alyson, who is hesitant and lacking confidence, acknowledges her mistake when she tested Marion. Chloé collapses and administration's lawyers prepare to foist blame for Marion's death onto her. Alyson, Arben and Hugo rally to support Chloé and apprise Marion's parents of the ward's dire conditions. Quarantine is lifted with the pathogen partly identified as a tropical, mosquito-borne virus. Manuel and other doctors resume work.
Manuel has been transferred to Lyon. Poincaré's Emergency Department (ED) is flooded when a frozen pipe bursts. Equipment, patients and personnel are transferred to Internal Medicine with Olivier and Saïd reassigning Chloé, Alyson and Hugo to join Igor in handling ED patients. Chloé's damaged left arm restricts her to lighter cases. Hugo works with Fred in triage. Arben is now an Order of Malta ambulance driver-paramedic until he brings carbon monoxide poisoning victims to Poincaré. After a rocky start Alyson responds positively to ED's challenging cases. With Olivier's consent, Arben starts practising medicine again despite Nathalie's concerns about his certification. Igor overworks, which results in memory lapses and a patient's test scans are forgotten. Arben finds the patient collapsed in an isolation room. Once the patient's scan shows up, Olivier and Saïd sort out Igor's other patients and reassign active cases to Alyson and Chloé. With growing confidence Chloé diagnoses cases for Olivier and Muriel. Hugo finds Igor collapsed in ICU's open high pressure chamber. Initially reviving Igor the team try to find whether he attempted suicide. Chloé uses computer search results and Igor's vitals to deduce his chloroquine overdose but Igor dies. During the early stages of COVID-19 pandemic in France, Chloé works in ICU while Alyson is in ED. Manuel returns to look after hospital's infected geriatrics. Arben's documentation is up-to-date and he asks to help Olivier in ED.
