a) ...[Psychs] know [shock treatment and lobotomies are] bad PR. Why would they continue to perform electroconvulsive therapy in the 1/10 of 1% of cases...
b) ...please tell me how you would treat the patient who suffers from "severe major depression with psychotic features, manic delirium, or catatonia," who "has not responded to other interventions," and who has demonstrated "a lack of a response to, or intolerance of, antidepressant medications?" What is your treatment?
a) Now that's the
best question I've heard all day Kha Khan, I'm glad I stayed up so late. As you pointed out, psychs really can't be stupid -- but my experience is that even
the smartest people in the world will fall for "third partying", and nobody is better at
deceptive third partying than scientology. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the CoS, CCHR, OSA is "third partying" so that the psychs will continue the practice of shock treatment and lobotomies. They're doing exactly what scientology wants. That way the scilons will have "substance" to bitch about, and they'd be right. How can a large percentage of people not get worked up about it, even without third partying by the scilons. The psychs are shooting themselves in the foot. And every time they defend this despicable practice they make themselves look that much worse, to a large percentage of people, even if they haven't heard of scientology's third partying. That's my story and I'm SERIOUS about it. Scientology is really friging good at third partying. And I'll go you one step further, some of the 1/10th of 1% of the nuts who get turbo-zapped are pay-backs by OSA, and when the psychs throw the zapper switch, they're doing the dirty work for OSA, which increases the "stats" of somebody at OSA by the way. And I wouldn't be surprised if an occasional Dr. Zapper were accepting some money from OSA, he may not know it's from them, but he pockets the cash and doesn't ask any questions. I'm not saying everybody they zap is an OSA payback, but a percentage. If you don't believe me, check the backgrounds of these nuts being zapped. And the
irony, if I'm right about this, is OSA provides the psychs with the nuts to zap, then bitches about the psychs for zapping the nuts. And some OSA thug gets a kick out of how naive the psychs are for doing exactly what scientology wants them to do. I think it's kind of sick, but I've been around the block. And I absolutely assure you, that OSA excels in getting other people to do their dirty work for them, while they sit back and watch. And they keep stirring the pot as necessary. Still don't believe me? Search YouTube and Google former GO/OSA ops Patty Pieniadz and Frank Oliver, and harassee Bob Minton. These are some wild stories, which describes how sophisticated and covert OSA is. Shock treatment and lobotomies must completely stop, 100%.
b) First of all, I don't believe in your premise, that it's a last resort. But that said, how would I treat these people that are presently being turbo-zapped? I don't know, but neither do the scilons. However, permanently and physically screwing up the brains up nut cases, hosing the entire reputation of an entire industry, and all their patients does NOT seem like a viable alternative, in order to benefit 1/10th of 1%.
