The wonders of ketamine and its use in conscious sedation:
Though it’s listed as one, ketamine is not really an anesthetic; it’s not even an analgesic. It doesn’t actually stop pain. On Special K, you’ll still feel pain — you just won’t care. Patients I have seen on ketamine become nonchalant about what’s going on with their bodies, as if they’re not really in there: “Out of body” is how users say they feel on it.
