Device to treat depression advances at St. Jude Medical

Little Canada-based St. Jude Medical announced this morning two steps toward development of an implantable device product that would treat depression.

As part of their charitable giving, I was wondering if they would give, free of charge, one of these devices to each resident of St. Paul. That would be truly a generous act.

I don't blame you, Mark. I'm depressed that Republicans in St. Paul constantly give tax breaks to the wealthy and cut educational funding. You can't get much more depressing than that.

[Steve Irving]

"Mrs R" there aren't a lot of Republicans in St.Paul. You've got only the DFL to blame for their victim style of government.

Instead of asking for handouts from everyone else that works hard to earn their money, why don't you organize a fundraiser for St. Paul if you're so concerned about the most subsidized city in the state. Stay the hell out of my wallet!

There's already an antidepressent in St. Paul available free to everyone.... it's called High Bridge!!
