But the doctor in charge of ECT where I live only gives one kind of treatment to everybody, take it or leave it. That is bi-foreheadal. Which is supposed to be the newest greatest thing with minimal amnesia risk. Yeah right.

Blueberry; I am not upset with you; I am aware of your experience and am angry about how your situation was handled. You have never hounded me about ECT. I am sorry if you thought so. I am not sure yet if either of these ECT docs will honor my request and if not then I will not do ECT. You may be right about Babble; I don't read most of what is posted. Ironically, ECT.org has folks who are very negative about ECT due to their experiences and people who are more positive. I have always appreciated your input.Karen44
