> Hey Maxime that hole in the head procedure looks really promising. I'd give it a go if I had to. But what do I know? IQ of 180. Good grief. I think mine must be in the low teens. Best of luck and please let me know how you get on

> FredFred, if you had an IQ in the low teens you would be a vegetable. So what type of vegetable would you be?(giggle)
I think I would like to be an asparagus because they are tall and thin whereas I am short and squat! But truth be told, I would probably be a fiddlehead. :(
I believe DBS is less drastic than ECT but no one seems to agree with me. I suppose the chance of a hemorrhage does bump up the risks, but I am willing to take that chance.
My doctor is merely placating me right now and pretending that he thinks DBS might be the answer. At my last appointment I said there was no point in making another appointment because there is nothing else to do or try. He said that I had to come back to give him the contact information for the recruitment process re. the research being conducted in Toronto. I told him I could fax it to him. Then he said that he would look into any suitable studies being conducted at the psychiatric hospital where he works and that I had to come back to discuss some options.
Sigh. Fine Doctor, I will play along one more time, but that is it. I see him on the 15th.
I am hopeless and worthless.
