ROBERT L. TAYLOR, Chief Judge.
On November 7, 1959, plaintiff, Hooper Webb, a resident of Florida, was a patient in the defendant, Blount Memorial Hospital, at Maryville, Tennessee, recovering from an operation for a fracture of his femur, and while in that condition he was placed in an alleged defective wheelchair by an orderly of the hospital. The wheelchair collapsed and as a result his injured limb suddenly dropped towards the floor causing one of the pins which had been placed in the broken bone to slip from its original position, which necessitated another operation.
