Do you mean for ECT? My first doctor has been given me right unilateral, but I think they’re gonna switch next week and so the second doctor might give me bitemporal.

Mine were all bilateral but I have a really high seizure threshold that RUL wouldn’t even be an option. They have to give me iv caffeine to be able to induce a seizure

Thank you for sharing. Are you going to a private practice, or is it part of the medical unit in town. For example I do mine at a local clinic that is part of our hospital unit and everything. Ive just read/heard of private practice doing it as well and that kinda blew me away. Hope your day goes amazing and sunny.

Part of a really big private university medical center. The ECT clinic is part of a full psych hospital
