It's Ratched not Ratchet!!!


Just seeing her again makes my blood boil. But up till the 1960's [maybe later] they didn't know how to treat mental patients so they blasted their brains with electricity, or soaked them in ice water, or gave them lobotomies with an ice pick over the eye socket. 'titticutt folies' is a short movie on u-tube about a men's prison in Mass. Some pretty bizarre stuff. Also, there are several tours of the Norwich State Hospital of CT, before they tore it down [also on u-tube]. It shows some of the equipment they used and some of the living conditions. In general they did a good job of helping people with problems.

The actress who played nurse Ratched did an excellent job. To have vile hatred of somebody within an hour of seeing them for the first time is great acting.
