(a) frequent change of diet is necessary in the event of such nutritional disorders; the criticism of these nutritional measures raised by the father does not consider that the director of the clinic is competent and just. (b) Similarly, the director of the clinic calls criticism of the duration and course of the disease for the skilled person as meaningless. He tried in vain to explain the context to the child's father. c) The alleged "stances" of the Czech patien- tens, the hospital director considers it unlikely, If the mother of the child as a German had been made hateful by the Czech patients or sisters, it would have been right to report this to the ward doctor. d) Czech nurses still have to be employed in the absence of German nurses.

According to the head of the clinic, a hospital in transition can isolate only limited children of Brivat. I take the following position: The admission of the child of Preidl to both the ear clinic and the children's clinic took place at a time when the operation in both clinics was partly measured. In the ear clinic, an entire floor was closed due to the conduction of cleaning and repair work, which also affected the German division. If, for this reason, the child Preidl, who was brought unannounced to the clinic in the evening, could not be accommodated as the *iterns wished, this is connected with the special circumstances that existed at that time in the clinic. the admission of the child Preidl in the move from the children's hospital of the 2nd Children's Hospital and the infection department to her new home. The operation of the children ́s clinic was restricted to the most extensive. Nevertheless, the clinic has everything
