Besides amnesia risk, cognitive dysfunction risk, and unknown potential brain damage risk, what is another price of electroshock therapy?
This is my bill for 12 shocks.
Medications $4136.63
Medical Supplies $1208.00
Sterile Supplies $ 1.32
Anesthesia $3540.00
ECT $8936.00
Physician $3000.00Total $ Yikes
That's about the cost of a brand new car.
And you thought your medication was expensive at $3 to $10 a pill.
For that kind of cost, it is hard to imagine it comes with a 50/50 chance of working (according to the doc who did it).
No wonder insurance premiums are so high. I do not understand why the costs are so high. Do the medications have gold dust in them or what?
