In reply to pros see ect mem problems as minor--why?, posted by Robyn222 on March 19, 2008, at 19:21:34
yep. Totally agree. Been there done that. My dad said it reminded him of the head traumas he saw in Vietnam. It did end a 10 year highly successful job. Just couldn't remember names, what to do on the job, how to do it, or even how to drive there. While ongoing short term memory has improved, it is subpar. Still 3 months of my life are totally missing from memory, and another couple months on each side rather sketchy. I don't know how I got my current job because I do not remember applying or the 3 interviews.
Cruel stuff ECT is.
What they should have done is checked cortisol, gluten intolerance, and mercury/lead toxicity, because those were the real problems all along. Total testing cost $200 and one week. Total ECT cost $12,000.00, a career, and 6 months missing in action.
