I asked him how they determined whether a not a patient should be institutionalised?

“Well”, he said “We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub”

“OK” I said “A normal person would use the bucket, because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup”

“No”, he said “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”
