In the book, Nurse Ratched manipulated the patients of the ward to her benefit. The patients were not properly cared for and were abused physically and mentally. Being a former Army nurse,…

The struggles and challenges people with Multiple Sclerosis face are difficult and sometimes completely life-changing. In “Living Under Circe’s Spell” and “On Being a Cripple” the main authors are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis but both authors decide to take different paths and methods to deal with it and live with it.
