Some reports boys are being drugged to make this journey. To be clear, Thai PM was clear today the children were not given anaesthetic: “Who the hell would give that to a kid?” He says they were given “something to make them to make them not too nervous and panic” #thamluangcave
Sedation is probably the proper word. Anesthesia makes it sound as though they’re knocking them out, which would be foolhardy under those conditions.
Probably a benzodiazepine...like ativan...those meds have the ability to cause “anterograde amnesia”...which means the subject will not store in long term memory the events that they are going through(short term memory) while the benzodiazepine is in their system. Thats why date rape drug (benzodiazepines) victims may not remember all that happened to them.
Appropriate use of drug (rescue) vs.criminal use.....
Whatever....hope to hear that even the rescuers are out.
