passer le restant de vos jours sur une chaise ? En acceptant de se passer de ses jambes pour grandir autrement. Cette force intérieure, Nicolas de Tonnac l'a découverte en lui à travers la longue épreuve d'un retour à une existence désormais assise et la révélation de sa vocation de médecin. À l'hôpital universitaire de Genève, où il exerce comme psychiatre de liaison, il fait figure d'agent double. À la fois soigné et soignant, il est au sein de la structure hospitalière le conciliateur entre les blessés de la vie et ceux qui les soignent. Dans l'itinéraire sans concession qu'il retrace, l'épreuve au quotidien est peut-être plus poignante encore que le récit de son accident - cette tragédie de son adolescence qu'il regarde comme une chance d'avoir pu se réaliser à la fois comme homme et comme passeur. 2013.Trente-cinq ans de pratique permettent à Pierre Pallardy, ostéopathe, diététicien de renom international et auteur de nombreux best-sellers d'affirmer, à…
