What I take from this is, if you get stuck in “the system,” you have given away any hope of living your life without intrusion and interference by complete strangers who care little about you.

This woman had to have numerous doctors assigned to her case over 70 years of commitment.

It is totally incomprehensible that in those 70 years that none of them ever suspected that she was not mentally incompetent.

It is my suspicion that there was probably financial incentive for that hospital and the doctors to keep committed patients in the hospital.

I agree that the doctors cared less about this unfortunate woman than they did about their own financial gain.
