TymbrwulfMade me look at my pharmacology book again.

Ketamine is employed mainly in children and young adults for short procedures. However, it is not widely used, because it increases cerebral blood flow and induces post-operative hallucinations ("nightmares"), particularly in adults.
I guess i "anecdoted" the "not widely used" into "not used anymore." Small, but important detail. Got my pharmacology exam coming up in a month and a half, so thanks!

^ Sorry Tymbrwulf, but you need to get your facts straight. Ketamine is, in fact, still used medically and frequently on children (it has been highly documented and has few contra-indications and you don't just abandon established and proven-safe medicines/procedures).
when you say "side effects", perhaps you are thinking about recreational uses.
True, that Ketamine is not the first anesthetic they would reach for, but it does have it's uses. Children sometimes have odd and inconsistant responses to anesthetics (developing brains and all), and as one loses efficacy, they start using a different drug (family).
For istance, morphine (opiate) has a limiting effect on my daughter now and just leaves her crazy-itchy. Lorazepam (benzodiazapene) has paradoxical results and leaves her frantically trying to climb out of her body. Ketamine is her current drug of choice (I am not being flippant here).
Medically speaking, you NEED many families of drugs to be still available.

deedub81He did them for Wes Anderson's film: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. That video was an extended scene from the film.

Anyone know the story of these covers? They are absolutely brilliant. Makes me think Portugese goes well with anything. Respects to Astrud, Joao & Bebel!
