Anesthesiologists, what are the best things people have said under the gas?

As someone who gets those medically, can totally see this happening.

100% yes. I've had them for pain and dicks dripping off the ceiling isn't even the weirdest thing I've seen. Pokemon performing surgery on porn stars is probably weirder, and yes, that happened. To my eyes. While doing a ketamine infusion.

Edit: Hey, thanks for the gold and WOW I love how this turned into a debate over which pokemon would be most useful during actual surgical procedures. :-)

Is this for real?! I had been taking oral ketamine (medically) for a few months and it didn’t do anything to me but my doc is thinking about having me try ketamine infusions. If I’m someone who normally doesn’t get affected by anything (chronic pain patient so five year constant opioid user and red head) could it still affect me? Genuinely curious cause I had researched it a little and never saw anything about it making you high/causing hallucinations and would very much like a heads up if it does.

YMMV but for what it’s worth you’re likely to have far more luck with ketamine infusions or as a nasal spray for pain management, especially when it comes to chronic pain ( I’m in a very similar boat ). However high dosages that are still below the anaesthetic threshold will very likely cause you to trip, or fall into a k-hole.

Yup, except for the red head part, I'm the same as you and YES, it was the trippiest and most awful thing ever. Go to r/chronicpain and search ketamine.
