I thought many of the men were fit to leave as they wanted, in fact almost all of them could. When McMurphy brought them into the open world the first time, you could see their confidence grow and their gradual implementation into "normal" life again. They became less uptight, managed to have some fun and were able to socialize with each other and the girl on the boat. The group grew together and functioned much like a family from then on. They also didn't care that they were in trouble either.

Since all the men in the group needed therapy they would have group sessions with Mrs. Ratchet. Unfortunately though, she wasn't helping them much.

The one very disturbing thing in this movie was the ethics involved. The electroshock therapy was one of them. I didn't think you were allowed to fry someone's brains in order to keep them under control. Also the nurses forced everyone to take medicine which they may or may not have wanted or needed.
