I called Yale and spoke with the research person who asked me some questions and then said she felt that I was a good candidate. She asked if I could come in next week and I think we will move ahead with this trial. I guess my main concern would be if I get the real treatment or not. So this could be a whole new approach to my treatment options. I had one course of ECT but always felt the memory impairment was not something I wanted to go through again. Plus it is so invasive and unregulated. No one (docs) ever followed up with me to see if there were positive outcomes or side effects after the procedure was done. It's as though no one gave a damn about whether the procedure workled or not and that is a procedure not to be taken lightly.
More voodoo medicine practiced on the most vulnerable patients.
