About this listen
This is the first episode of 10-15 based on the book 'I Flew Into the Cuckoo's Nest'
This covers the first three chapters of a personal account from within the walls of the asylum. Very funny, but also a hard-hitting reality show that's not sugar-coated; it's 'warts and all', meaning not only the warts, but also the halitosis and skid marks.
A cynical, darkly comic memoir-turned-series about a misfit mental health nurse surviving (barely) the absurd horrors of 1980's psychiatric care, where the line between caregiver and patient blurs in a broken system.
My name is Christopher Ford. I am that 'survivor'.
This episode gives you insight into a psychiatric lock-up institution, an introduction to the 'Gorillic' Jeff James character, an unexpectedly embarrassing near-death experience and the legendary frozen corpse.
