From the Paper:

"Furthermore, Dr. John Spivey, the head doctor at the psych ward, and the other doctors represent the legislature. Dr. Spivey was under the influence and was suppressed by Nurse Ratched. Considering when there was the discussion of what to do with McMurphy, Nurse Ratched managed to completely dissuade and overrule the other doctors' suggestions to release him. All the doctors had no real authority because they were often intimidated or bossed around by Nurse Ratched. While Nurse Pilbow represented Nurse Ratched's blindly obedient subordinate. Nurse Pilbow lacked an opinion or the opportunity to air her opinions, all her activities where directed by Nurse Ratched."
