Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:19 pm Post subject: Jim & Edna on Mental Stability |
|
|
Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped
into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
Jim out. When the director of Nursing became aware of Edna's heroic
act, she considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell
Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good
news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally
respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another
patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The
bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his
bathroom with the belt to his robe right after you saved him. I am
sorry, but he's dead." Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put
him there to dry. How soon can I go home?" |
