When he went to Jack with the good news the director told Jack, “I have some good news and some bad news for you.

The good news is you’re being discharged from the mental hospital, because you were able to respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient.

I have concluded that your act displays that you have a sound mind.

The bad news is, Jane, the patient you saved, hung herself in the bathroom with his her bathroom robe just after you saved her life.

I’m sorry to inform that she has died.”
