Special K, or ketamine, is in fact an old drug. Available since the early '60's, it has enjoyed something of a rebirth in the past few years in hospitals, in-patient psych facilities and - illegally, of course - in nightclubs (the sweaty-techno-mosh-pit kinds, not the ones with elegant ladies at small tables). Though it's listed as one, ketamine is not really an anesthetic; it's not even an analgesic. It doesn't actually stop pain. On Special K, you'll still feel pain - you just won't care. Patients I have seen on ketamine become nonchalant...
CORRECTION: The Dec. 3 news article "No Joint Fields in Ec, Psych For 2010" incorrectly implied that the Psychology Department and History Department ended joint concentrations last week.

But I still feel like a jerk as I dip a teaspoon into the applesauce jar yet another time and fill up a tiny saucer, trying to serve myself exactly as much applesauce as I did when I used a big spoon and a big plate. As predicted by previous results, the bigger spoon caused me to serve myself almost 15% more, the big plate 25% more. I also overestimate--by 50%--when I try to pour a shot into a wide...
...There are some promising signs. The state could provide funding for another 20 psych beds this summer, says Jerome Gibbs, executive director of the Metropolitan Human Services District, which oversees state-run mental health programs in the New Orleans area. University Hospital plans to have a mobile crisis unit operating on a site adjacent to the hospital by June, and is in negotiations with a closed mental health center uptown, where the hospital hopes to lease enough space to open 33 psychiatric beds. But staffing is still a huge challenge, Fontenot says. There are fewer resources available to follow patients...
