<br/><br/> This article sets out to analyse the effectiveness of the participation of patients in two so-called “participatory” hospital settings inaugurated during the coronavirus health crisis. It shows that healthcare democracy can only be effective if it results from a reflexive process, otherwise it runs the risk of being instrumentalized. The patient then becomes an alibi for the institution rather than a partner.
