The story
The morbidly obese Ethel Janowski has been institutionalized because of her bouts of depression and violence, but is being released into her grandmother's care despite Dr. Gerard's unease about her discharge. Upon moving into her grandmother's home, Ethel consumes massive amounts of food, repeatedly and harshly claiming that the institution employees had tried to starve her to death.
