McMurphy
I felt that people during this time period didn’t really think of mental patients as people, but more as lab rats, i dont understand how they could use the EST machine and not understand how it couldn’t hurt someone physically of course, but mentally i think it hurts even worse, I dont think the doctors really cared to think about how much damaged they were doing to someone, becuase they felt it was a lost cause, but why not take a shot at it. I didn’t think McMurphy had any mental issues, at times I thought of him as a sociopath but it was obvious that in the end he was worse than he came after they gave him a labodomy. Nurse Rachet seemed to hate her life so she just took it out on the patients by making their life even more miserable, it was a neverending cycle that McMurphy was only trying to break.
