Well, that's a sad story, all right. It's very well-done, really, because it doesn't really answer the questions that it raises. I mean, yes, we're sympathizing with the poor little mutant girl by the end, and that sympathy is justified, absolutely - she's lived a short, terrible, unhappy life - but is she completely in the right, or do the nurses have a point, too? What I mean is, it's quite possible that the girl really IS fairly nasty to those around her - whether that's the result of others treating her badly or some defect in her own character, we don't know. One of the classic psychological symptoms, though, is for someone who's in pain to lash out at those around them - they desperately need and want some basic love and comfort, but they don't know how to express it, and wind up simply releasing their anger. If THAT'S what's going on here, then it's not surprising that the nurses are not happy with the girl - if they're already prejudiced against her due to her looks, then her behaving badly is bound to cause them to overreact. Adds to the pathos, really.
