A Norweagian film for children from the 1950es about coming to hospital

This Norwegian film from the beginning of the 1950es is about a girl, Marianne, which happens to eat something that stuck inside her stomach and had to be taken out by surgery.

The story is fictional, but the personel are real pilots, nurses, doctors, actually playing themselves.

Also the hospital scenes are realistic and made in a real hospital, Rikshospitalet, in Oslo.

I happened to be born in that hospital because it served the inner Oslo in addition to be a national hospital.

I also worked in that hospital in a laboratory a period.

The film is partly made for entertainment.

But the main purpose is to educate children about coming to hospital, and to be trustful.

It also served as a propaganda about how brilliant the Norwegian health sevrice is, a propaganda that was blatant dishonest, and would be dishonest even nowadays.

For example, the girl got immediately admitted to the hospital, and even airlifted, and there was no waiting to get served.

This is not true even today, except for very serious accute cases, and not always even then.

But here is the link:

The film is based on a book, but it is not a true copy of the written storry. In the book she got placed in a room with both girls and boys afterwardes, and the patient next to her was a boy that had broken a leg.

In the story she got pain from her stomach after the surgery due to gass accumulated. The nurse decided to put a tube into her anus to drain out the gas. At first she got afraid, but then the boy next to her told that he to had had such a tube through his anus and it was nothing to fear.

It looks like the man playing the father of the girl was the author of the book, Odd Brochmann. This man was actually an architect, and in the film it is said that her father is an architect and involved in the building of new buildings for the hospital. Because of this, the girl and those seing the film got a exhibition of the architectural layout of the hosspital at the end of the film.

The film clearly also served as an advert for the achitectural services of his company.

Although it was 1960, I couldn't help but notice the 1930's Packard ambulance

I could smell the ether

What is shown in the film is a semi-accute case which is not life threatening in the first run. In Norway chronic and semi-accute patients often have to wait a long time before getting served, so long that they often develop bad complications. So the film glorified a service that does not deserve this glorification.

But Norway is full of medical services and institutes of various kind, of which many treat children, both of somatic and psychological kind. Few societies are to that extend medicallized like Norway.

But what do all these services do, then, when patients that need help do not get it before a long waiting period?

The answar is that they are occupied with all kind of NORMALIIZATION AND CONTROL procedures, mostly on young patients, of which most do not need it. The Norwegian society is very eager to compile very strict schemes for what is regarded as normal somatic, mental and social development, and resources that could be used on patients that need help are deverted into this normalization business.

The most visible symptom of this is that a great porsion of Norwegian children have extensive orthodintic work imposted upon them, or are medicated to controle their behavior, often after a false ADHD diagosis. Many are bussed into an extenssive array of exams and treatments after diagnoses of admittedly true diseases, but where the disease itself iss so mild that the medical process probably do more harm that the disease would have done undetected. The narrative is that the medical process that is often lifelong prevent the disease from getting serious, which I think is false in most cases.

But the normalizisers are equally eager to treat all parts of the body, especially the senses, joints, lower digestive system, urinary system, genitals and the pubertal process,

Also a great porcion is occupied in medical broiling of sport champions, a process that often begins when the individual is a child. And this business is highly successful, but most norwegian athletes get serious medical problems during the process, during the carreer or afterwards. Many get crippled or die in a young age, a fact that is actively hushed down for the public.

But much is held secret for the public. Kids or pareents of kids will therefore often believe that they are treated because they have some serioeus defect that must be taken care of, but do not know that someething very similar is done to the boy or girl next door.

Sometimes things come out during media. For example a case pf a girl being broiled to be a ski chapion got treated to retard her growth so that she could get a height optimal for the sport, and another girl got treated for the same purpose to accelerated her growth. Unfortunately most norwegians are to that extent drainwashed that they accepted the lies from the medical professionals that this was done for their own medical best.

Every time something like this get exposed through the media, a team of paid professional "firefighters" get into accion and support the medical teams by "user comments" or by posing blatant denials.
