Well, I'm looking into ECT for severe depression.
Years (about 4-5) of MANY different drugs have yielded no effect.To make a long story short, I blew up at my current "doctor" (if you want to call him that), and that ends that. I did have a good reason. ;)
Now I'm looking for a new p-doc in the Manchester NH area. I'm also looking for a place to get an ECT consultation AND a hospital in the area, that performs ECT.
Last I heard, Dr. xxx at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH didn't think ECT was a good idea from me. I only heard this 2nd hand. Now I have to wait till he is back on vacation to find out why.
My problem? I'm on LTD. My company will re-fill my position in approx 4 more weeks. SO, I wanted to get/try ECT BEFORE that time is up. Now I think I can kiss my job/life goodbye. It's all thanks to my current (ex) doctor for waiting a whole week to call Catholic Med. Cnt. for me. Something which would have taken him 10 mins to do, WHEN I asked him.
Very upset in NH,
