As a nurse, it was never Ratched's call to do a lobotomy. That was up to the doctor in charge; nurses didn't have that much power.

I think, in the context of the movie as a dramatic work, that's how it plays, even if that's not necessarily how it would work in real life.

ayrt - as above anon said, I believe that's how it happened in the book or was at least heavily implied to have happened that way. there were lots of arguably misogynistic overtones about castration and emasculation on the part of the patients. haven't seen the movie though so not sure if that's the case there.

The movie is a bit misogynistic, but that doesn't mean Ratched's justified and not abusing her power, because she absolutely is.
