"WOULD WHICHEVER PRO-PSYCHIATRY CAMPAIGNER IS CHANGING MY EDITS WITHOUT DISCUSSION PLEASE DISCUSS THEM IN THIS SECTION FIRST? WP IS SUPPOSED TO BE NPOV. THUS, REFERRING TO 'RATHER VOCAL FORMER PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS' HAS NO PLACE IN THIS ARTICLE. THERE IS A LARGE MOVEMENT AGAINST ELECTROSHOCK AND OTHER PSYCHIATRIC ASSAULT. IF YOU CONTINUE TO TRY TO MINIMIZE OUR POINT OF VIEW, I WILL GET MORE AND MORE FORCEFUL ABOUT MINIMIZING YOURS. -- EFS"
Original article.
I suppose being hit in the head with a baseball bat might also achieve similar results.
"Actually, the leading proponents are psychiatrists who earn a hefty fee every time they flick that switch. On our local psych ward, the machine was manufactured by an outfit called Somatoform, but I have no information on that company. -- EFS"
Shhhhhh. There there, now. *flick*

It may seem Philistine and brutal, but i've seen folks walk away with pretty clear heads after some ECT. Granted, it took them a while to actually walk again . . . but when they did, it was with a clear head.
ReplyDeleteAm i racist by calling it Philistine?
The name Somatoform has kept me in stitches. As in, "There's nothing wrong with you physically, it's all in your head". It's almost too hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah if you mean "empty" by clear head.
Am I racist if I call you a swede?
