Patients trust us to do our best to help them.
We have to trust our patients to follow our directions, especially when controlled medications are prescribed.
We also have to trust our teachers and mentors to guide us through the often murky world of off-label prescribing.
Bottom line: being a clinician is a lifelong process of learning to trust your own clinical judgment. The Doctors’ Lounge series is here to help.
You are invited to spend an evening exploring the potential usefulness of adding oral, rectal and topical ketamine to your therapeutic toolbox.
When you are limited by the side effects or effectiveness or other options for managing your patients’ pain or mood, you and your patients may be pleasantly surprised by dramatic changes for the better with the introduction of ketamine administered through the above mentioned routes.
For example, N of one: a breast cancer patient is reluctant to continue with tamoxifen because of pain: problem resolved with the introduction of ketamine oral troches.
