I just pray that I never have to make the choice with Ketamine. It scares me to death as I used to work with severe behavior autistic people at a residential facility in the late 80's and they gave them Ketamine for surgeries and I was always picked to sit with them, because I was young and had the patience to do so. It was so horrible watching the effects of the drugs on them waking up. One time I had to stay with a resident for 3 days because she had a extreme reaction to the drug and her parents lived so far away and didn't have the means to get to her.

Now, I am quite sure that things have changed since the 80's,but seeing that poor young lady go through what she did will haunt me forever.
