More like Mangled Health Care.
I REALLY hope everything works out for you. Please post if you can while you are having the treatments. :)

> I called my boss yesterday and told him that I needed to go to the hospital for outpatient treatment three times a week starting next Monday. I told him that I was not sure if I was going to be able to work during the treaments. He did not ask for specifics, although he may remember that I took some time off for depression treamment three years ago. My first treatment is supposed to be this Monday, so I will take Monday night off from work and play the rest by ear.

I will call them today to find out what my options are. I am not sure I want to start ECT without authorization from the wonderful folks at the insurance co. When I had ECT in '92 my health insurance had run out by then and I was driven into bankruptcy. Another wonderful side affect of ECT/the US health care system. My credit has recovered and I don't want to risk going down that road again.
