And also speaks to privilege, right? Because who lives in a town with a sailing team where the scouts go looking for sailors?

And a far greater proportion goes on to higher ed. So it’s a larger percentage of a higher number

Daughter’s friend accepted ED to Yale because they needed someone of her height and weight on the sailing team. Granted her scores and grades are good, but if that ain’t random, I don’t know what is.

Second, as a physician in Massachusetts, where Harvard-trained physicians are everywhere, we have a term for people who were Harvard undergrad, Harvard med school and Harvard residency: “Preparation H.”

Two things. First, the affectation starts early. I first learned about it as a kid from the Midwest. People in my (state) law school, asked where they went to college, would say “Cambridge,” with faux humility.

I cannot even imagine what it is to sit by the bedside of your child and see them suffer. It would be near-impossible to absorb everything you were told under those circumstances.

I wouldn’t say it’s for “light” anesthesia, but there are reasons to use it. Someone may have told you that because you can administer ketamine and patients will tolerate noxious stimuli but continue to breathe, thus appearing to be “lightly” anesthetized.

As I said, it is a potent analgesic and is sometimes clinically useful, especially for people who have been in chronic pain, who may have become habituated to opiates, such that opiates no longer provide adequate pain relief.

Also sorry for your loss. Anesthesiologist here, but iruntbamimma is correct. Although it has potent analgesic properties, Ketamine acts primarily on NMDA receptors, not opiate receptors. It is hallucinogenic, differing in chemical structure from LSD by a single methyl group.

One could make the argument, convincingly, that the failure of reconstruction is precisely what has led us to this moment. Indeed I think the argument has been made by greater scholars than me.

I’m ashamed to say I “know” most of these people. And realized they were FOS, one by one. MSW, ECM, Seth, Angry, etc. it all amounts to hours of my life I’ll never get back

Sorry but I think two of them are men who are married to each other. We stayed at their B&B a number of years ago b4 gay marriage was legal and subsequently saw their wedding announcement in the NYT
