Our Ed takedown drug is midazolam. I can’t see benzos being safe being given by non-medics. The safety profile of ketamine is excellent (as I’m sure you know)

Having said that it blows my mind that it is considered necessary or appropriate to give someone ketamine to restrain them.

Also, aren't police claiming that they only use ketamine for people showing "excited delirium", where benzos are probably contraindicated?

Seems that hospitals love to give out Versed like candy.
