If
you think about the mental health topic more carefully, all sorts of
demons crawl out of the woodwork. In my case it made me think, 'who
are the sane?' I also remember the case of a psychiatrist who treated a
woman who was insane, but harmless. She thought that the 5 dolls she
tended were her actual children, the reality was she was unmarried and
had no children.
The psychiatrist said that he would not cure her even if he could because she was enjoying her fantasies so much.
Dr. Marley, the head psychiatrist at Front Lawn Asylum, is examining patients to see if they're recovered and ready to re-enter society.
'So, Mr Lewis,' the doctor says to one of his patients, 'I see from your chart that you've been recommended for discharge. Do you have any idea what you might do once you leave here?'
Henry Lewis thinks for a moment, then replies, 'Well, I went to a college for telecommunications. That's still a good field, good money there. But on the other hand, I thought I might write a book about my experience here in the hospital, what it's like to be a patient here. People might be interested in reading a book like that. In addition, I thought I might go to evening school and study art history, which I've grown interested in lately.'
Dr. Marley nods, looks pleased and says, 'Yes, those all sound like intriguing possibilities.'
So Henry Lewis adds, 'And the best part is, in my spare time, I can go on being a coffee pot.'
