Not one of the more subtle episodes and sometimes it works . I think here it mostly does work.
The most poignant moment is the patient Janet Tyler railing at who has the right to say what is normal. The state isn't God she says. She is as well established bandaged waiting to see if they can make her fit in enough.
The medical staff to my thinking cold and distant even when they show patience or something they think is sympathy or pity . They are putting up with her. She wants to see sky and clouds and pretty flowers they have no time for such things.
The doctor makes the point further treatments aren't allowed because of too much for just one person. He later asks a nurse why people can't be different? She tells him to be careful and he says he knows it's treason ! It's revealed to be a totalitarian state.
Janet Tyler's treatments failed and she will live in another village or state , society. A man quite similar to her comes to take her . The staff looks in in pity at them as they leave.
I probably like this episode more now than I did growing up . Sometimes the lack of subtlety is actually more accurate in revealing peoples attitudes and prejudices.
