Bob,
I agree with you. It sounds like it would be difficult, but I know that's what they are doing now. I got the information directly from the
New York State Institute's (i.e. Columbia) website. Also, several doctors have told me about it.Regarding the lithium being dangerous, my doctor
told me about it first, and then I read about it in an ECT book.I'll leave it at that.
Bye,
Dave
