Letter: Come again?

Published 3 March 2001

From S. Canavero, Molinette Hospital

I have just read about Stuart Meloy’s idea for an orgasm-producing device
following his serendipitous triggering of an orgasm in a patient
(10 February, p 23).
This is no breakthrough, nor a novelty. All doctors who use spinal cord
stimulation to manage pain, myself included, every now and then trigger both
male and female orgasms.
