Ketamine is an extraordinarily safe anesthetic and so is often used in vulnerable human populations as well.

I wonder, if you had to for some reason do field surgery at a rave, whether you could go round grabbing baggies off of people in order to dose them enough to operate.

depends on how quick you can operate I guess ;) There's a reason that stuff is on a continuous drip while operating. But I've seen people accidentally hit an anesthetic dose before when using recreationally and be knocked out for 20 min or so.

Yeah I'd prefer to be patched up whilst in a k hole than sober, in all fairness. Could the ketamine complicate it with ODs and other stuff, though?
