Yes, Kesey's masterpiece could be remade today and would not be any less true. WhenI was in patient I had a nurse stealing my Klonopin telling me I had already taken it. When I told my lawyer she was gone the next day.

The fact that I could not get my doctors to look at my mental illness as an immune disorder (even after I was diagnosed with Lupus) as being the cause of my mood disorder tells you everything about how ignorant practical care is for the mentally ill. I just had a psychotic break after catching COVID as well.

Mental Illnesses are immune disorders.
