- Like how my doctors would treat me after being disabled by the procedure
- The "new and improved" safety measures aren't as effective as advertised
- ECT's lasting impact on how the brain processes vision
- That ECT doctors don't know much about electricity or what it does to the human body
- Some people will experience serious disabling conditions from the electricity used to cause a seizure
