Nicolas Bonnemaison, 54, was found on Saturday morning slumped in a vehicle in the village of Tosse in southwestern France after apparently taking medication.
He was transported by helicopter to a hospital in nearby Bordeaux, where one source said his condition was stabilising.
On October 24, an appeals court in the western city of Angers handed Bonnemaison a two-year suspended sentence for killing a patient, an 86-year-old woman.
But it backed a lower court ruling that had acquitted him last year of the poisoning deaths of six other terminally ill patients.
Val says how sad. The pressure of the two trials must have been tremendous and stressful. I hope he makes a full recovery and gets help with his problems. I saw him on TV saying being a Doctor meant everything to him and of course that may now be difficult.
