@ThommyTox @Dallas_Holladay I typically reserve ketamine for situations where I’ve really loaded up GABA A but I haven’t quite achieved the level of sedation the patient needs. Def stay in sub-d doses (made that mistake once). Idk if this is the way. May start using earlier.

@kaynani32 @Dallas_Holladay @toxcat It’s all about those GABA A subunits.

@RyanMarino @tomashemstad Seriously. It’s not like I was trying to work on mechanistic probes for CHS while they were still watching Reefer Madness on repeat or anything

[Jeff Lapoint @lapizity]

@RyanMarino @tomashemstad Guess they just couldn’t find a toxicologist expert on CHS in San Diego so they went with fear mongering and silly words

Seems like *most* of the COVID #misinformation is driven by Russian bots.

When those bots get distracted by Russia’s #UkraineInvasion, all the interest in #myocarditis & #Ivermectin vanishes overnight.
