The only thing that would remain from that point would be for the Rads to access the studies from Synapse within the MLK folder. We would absolutely test this out but considering any other option, this seems to be the nest and simplest at this time.
Hospitals are meant to help some people heal physically and others mentally. In the novel One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey published in 1962, readers are introduced to a mental hospital that has goals that do not align with helping people. Within the hospital, characters with varied personalities and opinions are intermixed with three main characters playing specific roles with supporting characters close by. With the characters’ motivations, themes develop such as the emasculation of the men in the hospital by an oppressive nurse. Symbols, such as laughter and the “combine”, are also pertinent to themes as the readers watch the men transitioning from being oppressed to being able to stand up for themselves causing change in hospital policy.
Silence is not a factor of significance. A man who never speaks is not an insignificant one. Chief Bromden watches quietly, he knows all the ins and outs of his prison. He is easily the sanest and most knowledgeable patient in the ward. That is until McMurphy comes along and stirs everything up. In the novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the reader hears Bromden’s thoughts and opinions of how terrible the ward and the people within it. The film adaptation directed by Milos Forman, Forman makes the choice to focus on the protagonist of the story, Randle McMurphy. Chief Bromden is hardly present in the film, thus leaving the true characterization of many main characters underdeveloped. It is difficult for the viewer to truly get a sense of significance for key events in the film if the narrator of the original story is cut out.

Does the use of power to control others truly work in an environment where there is no respect for authority? Throughout the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, power and control has been a main focus primarily on two characters, Nurse Ratched and McMurphy.

Although Nurse Ratched’s guidelines and procedures have the ability of putting all of the members of the ward into a “fog,” a state of mind numbing acquiescence, this has not occurred since McMurphy has arrived. In fact, McMpurphy makes it his mission to break Nurse Ratched once and for all after witnessing her manipulation of his colleagues during a group therapy session. He comes to the final conclusion that Ratched a “ball buster, and even though Harding was the center piece of humiliation during the meeting, he struggles to admit that Nurse Ratched is a “bitch.” Eventually, McMurphy is able to persuade Harding to admit his true feelings about the wretched nurse.
