I wonder what will be next... ECT treatments right in your own home?

We could probably do that just by modifying the defibrilator (or using it in the bath, or something).

Hmm, on second thought, I think my brain has been zapped enough...

I find it disturbing that it comes with "practise pads".

What, are the ambulance crews bored waiting for calls or something?

Yeah, I wondered about those "practice pads", too. I'm envisioning some sort of thing like the guy with the red lightbulb nose from that old "Operation" game, except instead of his nose lighting up if you get it wrong, he simulates flatlining.

Or something.

I told someone about this this morning and they found it equally worrisome.

ME: "So, Mom, Let's practise what we'd do if you were having a heart attack. The manual says I'm to place one sticky pad just below your right collar bone ane the other sticky pad on your left ribcage, yell CLEAR!, and hit this red button. Hey good acting, Mom!
Mom. Mom. Snap out of it Mom. OH, CRAP! Can these Pads be used more than once? ...

CRAP...

CLEAR!!!
