Reference excerpt

Hospital at the End of the City (Czech: Nemocnice na kraji města) is a Czechoslovak television series first released in 1978 by Czechoslovak Television. It featured an ensemble cast and received much viewer praise in Central Europe. The series, with a screenplay by Jaroslav Dietl and directed by Jaroslav Dudek, ran from 1978 to 1981 for a total of twenty episodes. The show's success inspired the German television series The Black Forest Clinic.

Synopsis The series follows Dr. Sova, head of the orthopedic department at a hospital in the fictional town of Bor, and his colleagues. It focuses both on their work and private lives.

Cast and characters

Production and release Initial filming began in 1976 with Karel Höger in the lead role of Dr. Sova, but the actor died suddenly in 1977, and was replaced by Slovak actor Ladislav Chudík. The show premiered on 5 November 1978 and was met with great success, both in Czechoslovakia and Germany, after being broadcast in 21 countries. After the first season, which consisted of thirteen episodes, another season was commissioned, for a further seven episodes. In addition to fictionalized portrayals of hospital activity, the series contained footage of authentic surgeries, mainly in the field of orthopedics.

Sequels and parody A sequel series was developed in 2003, called Hospital at the End of the City, Twenty Years On (Czech: Nemocnice na kraji města po dvaceti letech), starring most of the original cast. Thirteen episodes were produced. In 2008, another set of thirteen episodes followed, this time under the title Hospital at the End of the City – The New Generation (Czech: Nemocnice na kraji města – nové osudy). In 1999, a parody series titled Hospital on the Verge of Destruction (Czech: Nemocnice na pokraji zkázy) came out.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hospital at the End of the City

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hospital at the End of the City claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hospital at the End of the City before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hospital at the End of the City ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hospital at the End of the City
