Am RN and wish I was allowed just give people recreational drugs and let them goon. Instead I have to explain that life is suffering, which is a much more difficult conversation. Have been thinking about getting some ICU experience so I can maybe transition to a ketamine clinic but they’re gonna have to wait to go home for the gooning idw watch and definitely don’t wanna help it’s not that kinda service.
Comment on I could go for that right now

They’re so constricted by the illusion of objectivity, red tape, the peer-review process, and the drawn-out approval of new drugs.
Like I get the point, but if there’s an experimental cancer drug with high efficacy and you’re not giving it to your late-stage terminal cancer patients simply because it’s still making it’s way through clinical trials or the FDA, then something is seriously wrong with that.
Also, assuming that nothing is correct until it’s proven is not objectivity; it’s negating the antecedent, a formal fallacy.
Therefore, it’s not an effective treatment.But doctors don’t give a shit about philosophy, so I’m not surprised this fallacy is basically endemic to the medical profession.
Like, give women coneflower, cohosh, fenugreek, and fennel for their menstrual cycles. It’s not that deep.
