time we open the door in a case like this we're taking a chance we'll take less of a chance with Roy Turner if I can have another six months Dr Crawford each patient needs so many square feet in the hospital Lord so much linen so much food so many hours of a doctor's time Roy Turner has had all we can afford to give him how many patients do you think a psychiatrist like yourself should handle
