    Can we talk about these ketamine doses

    Care to give an example of what represents huge to you? My service is quite stingy on Ketamine use. 1.5 for induction and 0.3 for pain, and only after you exhausted nsaid and narcotics options. that's it. I sweet-talked OLMC into 0.5mg/kg on a long-distance transfer one time so I could...

    Hi! I'm Jon. I've been watching your Wilco posts for a year or two, but now I'm getting really close to having my immigration squared away, so I'm starting to line up my ducks. Do you guys have any Canadian medics, or will I be your first?!? :)
