"It was easier to read this book if I kept reminding myself that it was written in the 1950's. Psychiatric hospitals are nothing like this nowadays. But I appreciate they used to be different. Anyhow, I don't like that Goffman made some jabs at psychiatric nurses, implying that they are the nurses who didn't know how to draw blood (apparently, this is all that nurses do...?) and so couldn't get a job anywhere else.
