An urine tract infection developed in a serious way with shivering and other signs of septicaemia when the author was planning going skiing. After being admitted to his teaching hospital, the condition got worse with mental confusion. The author thought that he was to be executed due to a new law, giving the relatives of patients who have died during his care, a right to demand his assignation in the most cruel way. This is the thoughts and observations made during the illness.
