How wonderful that this person got an award for promoting electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Anyone who doesn't understand what I'm talking about should visit the Wikipedia page on ECT and read the adverse effects and effectiveness sections.  There's a good review there of the recent happenings in the field, including an admission by the most published researcher ever on ECT, Harold Sackeim, admitting under oath that ECT routinely leads to chronic, global cognitive impairment. Yes, sir; let's give Dr. McCall an award for his wonderful work. After all, publications like McCall's have helped ECT to continue on for decades and have allowed psychiatrists to double their salaries by giving ECT along with bringing in a lot of profit for mental hospitals.  That's what's important, after all. Who cares about the lives destroyed by this procedure, and the people who are left permanently mentally impaired by it.
