...crowd up to frenzy with attacks on the Papacy "for actively cooperating to encircle Germany in 1914 and provoke the World War!"

A long ride through frigid corridors is necessary to reach the X-ray machine. The lack of proper shower and bathroom equipment is another source of annoyance to patients.
