As I said earlier, I think they were anaesthatised ,,they definately took Ketamine and according to wikipedia "Ketamine, sold under the brand name Ketalar among others, is a medication mainly used for starting and maintaining anesthesia. It induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief, sedation, and memory "

It's interesting from a medical point of view as I am a nurse.No one gives a shiz that they took drugs, they were obviously pharmalogical grade and safely administered. It was a stroke of genius from Dr Richard Harris and the team. If there was any panic, the divers would be in danger themselves and would have had to abandon the kid if they went crazy
Mad props for the Thai Navy seals that risked their lives to save the boys. They deserve all the praise in the world.
But I could have done it in half the time.

Yep fully knocked out with ketamine apparently. Probably a smart idea. They were unconscious but able to breathe.
Wow, they must have kept the details very quiet in the leadup (understandably). The AMA I mentioned before absolutely denied that they were going to knock them out.
Makes sense though, they got them out much faster than expected.

Yep true Meb. I didn't think they would go the fully knocked out mode. Hey it worked I guess!

I read that it was a mild sedative. The kids had to do dives of up to half an hour. Better that they had their wits about them to some extent.
Just amazing that the rescue team could get 12 kids who couldn't even swim to do dives of that period through muddy water and narrow gaps.

Just wow if that happened. I guess if the kids couldn't swim they wouldn't have really helped to propel themselves along.
I wonder if there's any precedent for this ever happening before?

More the point that they requested the expert anaesthetist who was a good cave diver.

If it was a movie you'd say 'oh come on, that's ridiculous'.
Handy dude in a crisis
Maybe nobody else can afford it.

If it hurts, he is probably doing wrong.

Calling one of the divers a pedo. What a ****.
People worship this man as some kind of Tony Stark, lol.
It's probably projection
