Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

How was the Ketamine?The ambulance service I work only give it to patients with fractures who don't respond enough to other pain relievers such as morphine. Ketamine can induce a powerful dissociative state that can really terrify some people. Did you experience anything like this?

I had no issue like that with it, they got the dose and regime right, though in conversation yesterday with a palliative care consultant that in the doses they give to children, which is very difficuclt to get right, at they can hallucinate and talk about seeing butterlies and try to catch them. they use it when opiates are not appropriate for the child as in gastro cases.
