Then he went on Les Grandes Gueules, where he stood out particularly for his positions. He left in 2018 to join C8 and Valérie Benaïm for It's only health !.
2. He took a public stand on the Aquarius affair
The doctor made a lot of noise after a altercation with the deputy LR Gilles Platret, guest of Big mouths sure RMC, about the Aquarius. Remember, it was in August 2018, the boat carrying 141 migrants had found itself immobilized at sea, each country passing responsibility for its reception. The doctor Jimmy Mohamed had then qualified the deputy, refractory to the docking of the boat on the French coasts, of"awful person who would let people die at sea". "It was our duty to welcome them" had claimed the doctor.
3. He is married to a midwife
No, the doctor is not a heart to take! He is married to a midwife, who works like him, in the Paris region. He also praised the role of these healthcare professionals in a tweet published in May 2019.. "At a time when we are talking about the difficulty of having a gynecologist, midwives provide medical follow-up of pregnancy but also contraception, smears, rehabilitation … at a safe rate!" he wrote.
4. He said to himself "paralyzed" by movement #MeToo
In May 2018, Brigitte Lahaie was invited to the studios of Big mouths sure RMC to talk about his controversial book, The stake of the sexes (ed. Albin Michel). In this one the actress affirms that from the movements Swing your pig and MeToo, men would be more and more frightened by women and would not even dare to approach them any more. Words confirmed by Jimmy Mohamed who said he was "paralyzed from this whole campaign". "When I have to touch a woman's belly, I wonder if I should lift the t-shirt to look at the belly, or if I should do it, lest it be misinterpreted." he added.
5. He runs a health column on Europe 1
Each afternoon, the doctor answers the questions that listeners ask in his column Jimmy's good advice, on Europe 1.
