I hope so too, I'm not sure how they would regulate this. They do still use it for surgery and as far as I know more so with children. My daughter had a double compound fracture in the summer and was given Ketamine so they could manipulate the bones back into place before she could have surgery. It worked well for her as far as not remembering the pain, she was awake but pretty dazed out and talking very strange. I know she felt the pain because of the screaming coming from the room. The surgeon told me that children respond well to Ketamine.

Now can you imagine having your depression lifted in one hour to a few days. I don't know what the side effects are, but I could see how if this is the case we could drastic improvement for suicide reduction and hospitalizations, disability ect.
Thanks for this!
