[Direct laryngoscopy under difficult conditions (author's transl)].
The direct view into the glottis can be difficult due to long teeth in the upper jaw or abnormities of the neck vertebrae. It is recommended in these cases to use either a mediastinoscope with a lateral slot or the McIntosh laryngoscope, which is commonly used for intubation. ⋯ The tip of the McIntosh laryngoscope is inserted into the valleculae instead of loading up the epiglottis as is done with the normal laryngoscope. Recommended aids for ciopsy or polypectomy are the 30 degrees-optical system of bronchoscopy or the gastroscope, each with its forceps.

[The function and legal position of the medical expert (author's transl)].
Numerous facets of the relationships between the judge and the expert affect the function of the panel and its deliberations. Rules of professional conduct may not inhibit the expert's role because no rules exist which run counter to the obligations of the legal advisor. A critical commentary is given of the censure of the federal court by certain medical experts which has caused a stir and provoked an appropriate riposte from a federal judge. ⋯ The responsibility for the judgement rests solely with the judge. Courts, doctors and especially medical experts are inevitable sentenced to collaboration with each other. The exchange of facts and information between litigants may help to calm the apparently strained relations between doctors, patients and the judiciary.
