Kellner discusses the argument supporting shock therapy and how the opposing argument is often invalid. Both are highly controversial with opposers who attempt discrediting practitioners and the practices themselves. Also, methods of performing abortions and shock therapy are slightly touched on or not taught in medical schools.

Three types of barbed sutures are currently available in the market: the Quill (Angiotech Pharmaceuticals), the Stratafix (Johnson and Johnson) and the V-Loc (Covidien). Quill and Stratafix are bidirectional barbed sutures that have two needles swaged onto both ends of the suture. V-Loc is a unidirectional barbed suture that has a loop at one end of the suture and a needle swaged onto the other end [10-13] When compared with conventional smooth suture, barbed suture has external barbs that anchor the suture to the tissues and prevent the retrograde movement of suture thread during suturing.
