And even though McMurphy was more than likely not welcomed to earth by shepherds and hosts of angels or presented with gifts of gold and myrrh and frankincense, his contribution to Chief Bromden’s and the other patients’ overall well-being is similar to Jesus’ contribution, on a slightly larger scale, to his disciples and the world's well-being…
