One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming
pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank
to the bottom of the pool & stayed there. Mary promptly
jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom &
pulled Jim out. When the medical director became aware
of Mary's heroic act, he immediately ordered her to
be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered
her to be mentally stable. When he went to tell Mary
the news he said, "Mary, I have good news &
bad news"..." The good news is you're being
discharged because since you were able to jump in &
save the life of another patient, I think you have regained
your senses. The bad news is that Jim, the patient you
saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom.
I'm so sorry but he's dead." Mary replied "He
didn't hang himself.....I put him there to dry"
