BBC's Investigative reporter in Northern Ireland, Niall McMcCracken reports on the absence of informed consent among ECT recepients. He interviewed Lisa Morrison, an ECT recepient, working on the international campaign to Audit ECT. She, Professor John Read and Professor Chris Harrop, audited patient information leaflets in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. They graded leaflets for accuracy vs misleading content, and published their results in a recent peer-reviewed article. The results follow trend of previously reported patient information leaflets that do not meet standards for legal informed consent based on UK's General Medical Council's "Montgomery Ruling."

I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. McMcCracken for acurately reporting the egregious human rights issues regarding misleading desperately sick people stripped of their rights to make educated treatment decisions. It's the patients and their loved ones, not the doctors, who live with lasting and at times progressive injuries caused by this unregulated "treatment" which has no dosing consensus standards, no safe dosing limits based on neuropathology and histopathology studies.
