I was surprised when my 7 year old son received a minor eye surgery (he had a random fleck of metal on the sclera) and they gave him a large dose of ketamine.

He remained conscious but was immobilized. I asked him what it was like afterwards and he said “dad, everything turned into legos!!”

I was given ketamine as a 15 year old for a broken ankle that needed to be re-set. The nurse didn't tell what it was but I could read the label when she was filling up the syringe. It definitely didn't put me to sleep.
