while I tried for the second study. The results of the first study showed that VNS did not benefit patients who had
unsuccessful ECT experience, which is why they rejected those patients in the second study. In an overly simplistic
view it was your experience in the the first study that saved me from an unsuccessful VNS experience in the second study.
That is what I was thanking you for.Timidly
