Most of the patients described by Dr. Hinsie just never grew up. There was the married man, for example, with three children. He had diarrhea for no physical reason. The psychosomatic reason: his parents had never shown him much attention except once when he had typhoid fever (characterized by diarrhea).

Conference business went smoothly in spite of language difficulties and diarrhea (from bad water). Twelve subordinates, including three official interpreters, sat at the table with the Big Three.

The crime is compounded when the baby is put on a clock-ruled feeding schedule, a practice which...
...camp hospital alone when the hospital unit arrived. The first evening they got 161 more, from the barracks and the so-called "Small Camp"-the worst section of Buchenwald, where the dying were sent when they were considered beyond human care. Most of these patients were suffering from diarrhea, caused simply by lack of food. In the Small Camp men were still dying by the hundreds...
