Ketamine Revisited
In the past, ketamine was considered a dangerous medication with the potential for abuse as a recreational drug. Healthcare providers were warned of its dangers and taught to fear its use. With this book, we hope to eliminate any fear and misgivings associated with this drug. It can be a useful medication in many situations, some of which we describe herein.

Social Diversity and Access to Healthcare
Social diversity may affect health outcomes in situations when access to health care is limited for certain social groups.
