While an interesting read for sure, I'm not sure why people are surprised by this? Given the context, the boys are already at an elevated risk for panicking, seems like a cut and dry solution that worked as intended?
I don't view drugs as "scary" or "bad". They're tools, if used correctly they can effectively do what you need them to. There's risks with these tools of course, and those need to be considered, but in the end they're just tools. (Not talking about miss-using drugs, only talking about approved usage by professionals)
- russdill 8y agoMany medical practitioners have very strong love/hate relationship with anesthesia drugs. Any patient under anesthesia requires very careful monitoring and will often have unexplained drops in blood pressure and body temperature. Usually patients first have a blood test done (out of whack liver values mean the drugs might not metabolize and the patient will never wake up) and other vitals taken, such as temperature and blood pressure. Ketamine is much less risky than propofol, but I'm sure any doctor would understand the dangers of putting kids that young under that are already in a health danger zone and having them not be monitored.
- testvox 8y ago> Not talking about miss-using drugs, only talking about approved usage by professionals Well answer your question about why this is interesting to people. The difference between mis-use and proper use is the interesting question. This is not an approved use of ketamine, and the people administering and issuing the drugs were not licensed professionals.
