This spiralled me back to times spent in a psychiatric ward where I was aware of not so much coercion by staff to fellow patients but compliance by fellow patients.
Here are 3 examples:
1. Staff to elderly patient: " You are chain smoking, so from now on we'll keep your cigarettes in the office."
2. Tea trolley : every cup has the same: tea, sugar, milk regardless of personal preferences.
3. Staff to patient recovering from an epileptic fit. "All you need now is a cuddle" Patient to staff: "No! I don't" Staff to patient: "Oh, yes you do!"
