Doyle Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

The Board of Health hire Jake to go undercover at the Waterford to investigate the proliferation of black market
anti-psychotic drugs. Jake gains entry as a patient by continually unbuttoning an imaginary shirt, and making
paranoid comments about the crime rate in St. John's.

On the inside, a disagreement with a patient over a
cup of pudding forces staff to put Jake into a straightjacket. Jake meets a stern but attractive nurse, known only as
Nurse Parsons, who feeds him pudding, and provides therapy by unbuttoning his imaginary shirt for him. Jake forgets
about the black marktet drugs, or Malacky comes and solves the case. It's not important. Jake goes down "hot nurse road,"
which turns out to be not as nice as "hot cop road," but better than "hot insurance broker road."
