Short story:

Respected rock'n'roll guitarist Hank Garland is released from Madison Sanitorium, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, despite the institution's medical notes having described him the day before as "quite retarded". In recent weeks he has been treated with the drug thorazine and given electro-convulsive shock therapy, because his wife declared him to be agitated, disoriented and hostile, following a recent car crash.
