Morell just had to be in the same town as Hitler, i.e. Munich, Obersalzberg, Berlin, or wherever he happened to be, at that time; but in other words he had to be in Munich, within reach. But the duty doctor always had to be right there, where Hitler was.

He had to accompany him when he drove around in the city, when he was eating, etc. Prof. Morell was allowed to make up his own mind whether to take part, mostly he was so interested himself that he journeyed with us. At the top level official things Morell was not actually there. Irving: But at the tea evenings, etc?
