Well, do check around, perhaps other hospitals don't require such an intense IP commitment.

My Pdoc has been checking around, and it looks like there are some good hospitals nearby where the duration of the IP is at least negotiable. They will probably agree to one/two weeks of IP and then let me go home depending on how I'm doing. He's going to give me a referral and then the hospital will have an intake with me to see if they'll let me go forward with ECT and to discuss the details.
