I believe the treatments run about US$2500 a pop, not $25,000. But with this correction noted; abuse for profit is still not only unethical, but should be criminal if anyone in power cared or gave a damn!
Thanks for your added and continued support Ana.

This is an excellent post. It's appalling what's being done to this man.
We are all appalled except those who are doing it.
I's shocking.

I also posted this after I saw the video on your blog.
In the past I have email Lutheran Social Services.
I have also e-mailed. Even to the governor.
They don't want to open any dialog.
This is outrageous.

Thanks for adding the vid to your blog Ana, (and Natural Gal I'll be adding you to this list: (on my blog)
Mental health blogs that are hosting the Ray Sandford video: join us! and be a voice for Ray Sandford. (List is in the order I've found the links)
Is Something not quite right with Stan.
JustAna.
Rayne's World.
Beyond Meds.
The more blogs that host it the more it shows up in Google Searches too (if the title has his name in it)
We are in this together, Stephany.
It's the least I can do.
Opening a Dialogue, With Govt, on the barbarism perpetrated on Mr Sandford would reflect unfavorably On Govt. itself, ..... looking out, For itself.
Ray is Not the only person Providing $50 Thousand Dollars a month for an army of State Funded Employees, and putting Them under Public scrutiny would put the entire State Mental Health System under Public scrutiny.
And With that Scrutiny would come the Loss of $ Millions of Dollars in Federal and State Funding to keep those State employees on board, as part of Govt's own "You watch my back, I'll watch your's" life support mechanism.
Exactly D Bunker.
It's amazing!
It's criminal way to state "we are not going to change and we are not willing to talk."
Detestable.

It's important make the correction. If we provide wrong data, specially about amount of money, they can say we are lying.
I'll make an addendum explaining.

Ana;
I added this to my post.
PS: Ray may have misspoken the $ Dollar cost from $2,500 per shock up to $25,000 BUT: We're betting that if You add up All the costs of the supporting Mental Health Bureaucracy contributing to the 40 times this has been done to Ray, he's not far off at $25K per shock.
The system which allows Ray to be shocked supports a Lot of people, at everyone else's expense.
D Bunker,
I'm glad you added this.
I believe it was Sally that once has said how much does it costs ECT in a comment at Furious Seasons.
