Ketamine Anyone seen the “documentary” Take Care of Maya? Thoughts and feels?

[SeekingOblivion]

This whole story (and thread) has a lot going on, but I wanted to chime in briefly as somebody who spent 16 months living in a children's hospital as a young teenager. I was part of a clinical trial there using an enourmous dose of intraveous ketamine to put me out. I was freshly stapled up from an intestinal surgery and we suspected it was infected internally, so they wanted to take the staples out. I would only allow this under the condition that they shut my memory off effectively, and they IV'd 600mg of ketamine to me when I weighed 130 pounds. My memory turned on 3-4 days later. My mother has videos of me talking to Peter Griffin from Family Guy, describing a marching band of mice on a countertop in the room, a bunch of goofy ket shit. What's interesting about this though, is that I felt 0 depression for 3-6 months afterwards, and I was pretty generally depressed to begin with.

Thank you for sharing your experience. So can we take from this that you generally feel positive about safety and efficacy of high dose k treatment for pedes?

A difference here is that Maya was I think 8ish, under a 100 lbs and the doctors at reputable hospitals couldn’t see a medical reason for these treatments. So much so that the only doctor she could find to do it was off shores in Mexico, and it was such a high dose that it involved putting her in a medical coma for 3 days, fully intubated etc.

I was 15 years old or so, so I'd say for teenagers sure. If I was 8 years old at the time I may feel differently about it, I'm not sure.

Yeah, this whole Maya case seems like Munchausen nonsense going on. I was 130 pounds when I took place in that ket trial, but they thought I weighed 180 as I came in through the ER and they didn't reweigh me.

I’m glad you found the treatment helpful though, if I understood you correctly. Crazy weight to dosing inaccuracy though!

I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have posted that because it was tea this time. It has been coffee's in the past. And anyway it has nothing to do with this topic really anyway
except that it was another hot drink frivolous lawsuit for $50 million !! So I wanted to post it anyway.

And Maya's mother shouldn't have off'd herself. She should have tried to help her daughter more.
But I am sure the family weren't strangers to manipulation. They live in Venice FL. Nice real estate there.
I'm just sayin. The hospital fck'd with them and they fck'd wit the hospital back.

I am sorry. I am not too engaged with this whole MK lawsuit .... but I can be. Very easily.
But it is just too obvious of what happened. But the dynamics are beautiful. Classic. Certifiable for psychology and medical terminology studies.
I am glad Maya is a survivor of whatever happened to her. And now she has a family and a nice home to live in.

Also ketamine is used in hospitals as anesthesia and can have benefits at small doses as well.
