Schick Shadel Hospital says its method of treating alcoholism is time-tested and startlingly effective, boasting a 70 percent cure rate.ĭetractors say Schick Shadel Hospital's claims of success have never been proven by independent research, and that the method may not be appropriate for the severe alcoholics Sullivan would like to see treated there. The victim will require additional medical and scar revision treatment in the future.Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan wants the city to send a handful of severe alcoholics living at Karluk Manor to Seattle for a 10-day, $22,000 aversion therapy treatment that involves induced vomiting or electric shocks and is touted as a cure "nothing short of miraculous." To date the victim has incurred nearly $100,000 in medical bills as well as tens of thousands of dollars in lost wages and other damages. The victim suffered injuries to the neck and jaw and permanent damage to his facial nerves which required months of treatment. Physicians performed emergency surgery to address a dozen or more deep wounds on his neck that were deep enough to damage nerves, glands and bone. He suffered serious swelling and pain due to an infection that developed in his neck and face. The victim was transported by ambulance to Highline Medical Center where he was treated for severe blood loss and deep lacerations to the neck and left side of his jaw which required numerous stitches.
