This episode is dedicated to all the med studs and residents who cringe every time they have to go to journal club. I report the results of an initial trial of a special kind of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the brain that might be the future of depression treatment, at least for the treatment resistant or severe varieties.  I also use this as an opportunity to explain a little more about how repetitive TMS is usually performed (that is, its current FDA approved form), killing two dinosaurs with one asteroid.
