Thank you for the detailed description of the ECT. I wish I had insurance. I would definitely try it, in spite of the memory stuff.

Hey...the "walk a mile in their shoes" thing was from the book To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch said it to Scout and/or perhaps Jem. Can't remember. The other part, the funny part, was added on. Don't know who did that.

Funny. Always funny when one of us says that we can't remember.

As for forgetting emotional memories but not things he's seen or heard like a TV show...those two different types of activities might be managed by different parts of the brain. I am totally guessing here, and really have no idea, but you might find out by asking your pdoc or checking Google. Let us know if/what you find out. That's a fascinating question!
