I can't understand why he is the only one doing this as in-patient?????? Has any one heard of this?
I'd be much more concerned about the "with a vengeance" rather than the Ketamine itself, TBH. I'd ask the doctor what was done with those patients then to treat and manage their pain, and whether or not it was successful or not. It might potentially be your future too. So. I'd be asking a lot more questions to the doctor himself before even agreeing to this. Only your doctor is going to be able to answer you, I think.
