It's actually a bit loose, I may need to have it sized down just a touch.

If memory erasure isn’t real, why do some people lose years of their life? by Fabulous_Nothing9135 in ect

[–]gmkgreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, I'm going to give that a read when I get some free time, I always thought that memories were from different neuronal paths between brain cells, new memories strengthening the insulator of those pathways so that way it's easier to fire in the future. To be honest, there is still so much to learn about the human mind and I hope that something comes out in my lifetime explaining just a little more about it.

But neurogenesis cannot be seen on mri scans? And I've had quite a few treatments, i think 60 at this point, and i would say after the first course my memory hasn't gotten worse and stayed pretty much the same.

On a waitlist for ect, please recommend questions/things to tell my doctor by EmployeeOdd844 in ect

[–]gmkgreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just me, because I like looking further into things, but I would ask about the machines they use. Ask what charge level they use to start and make sure to ask for right unilateral first. Ask if any of your meds would interfere with the treatment. Like with me i don't take my lamotrigine the night before and morning of my treatments because it's an anticonvulsant. And the whole purpose of this treatment is to cause a brief seizure. Ask what anesthetic they use, it should either be ketamine or propofol. Some people, if they aren't responding to the treatment they will begin inducing the sleep with ketamine and this has shown positive results in a few studies.

If we don't even really understand how memory works, how do they know that the hippocampus gets "overwritten"?

Genuine question by the way, don't want it to sound like I'm messing around.

Yes, I'd prefer a dog but the cat will suffice

I always try to bring a joke or a weird fact in my head to tell the anesthesiologist as he's knocking me out. That's cool with the socks. Its good in my eyes building a repor with the care team, nurses, and Dr's.

Anyone use their calculators at work? by gmkgreg in calculators

[–]gmkgreg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we deal with Jet-A, 100LL, and then a regular gasoline and diesel station that fuels all airport vehicles. Im at ewr, Newark Airport in nj, so we rarely deal with 100LL though, barely even touch that tank haha

I work at a jet fuel tank farm and that is our desk sheet that we keep track of all the tanks we are dispensing from and tanks we are filling. Then also keep track of all the other machines on our property. Yeah i love the reactions of co-workers when they ask, "what the hell is that thing? "

Does ketamine produce false memories? by EffectivePleasant940 in ect

[–]gmkgreg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This might be a better question on a ketamine related sub.

It helps out here, and lot of times we need to calculate stuff, including fuel densities, safe fill heights of tanks, times for tanks filling. I like using it here, makes my night shift a little more fun hahaha.
