Even before Matthew Perry's death, experts worried about 'Wild West' of ketamine treatment
Briefly

"You cannot hand out prescriptions for ketamine like candy," said Dr. Gerard Sanacora, director of the Yale Depression Research Program, highlighting the dangers of lax prescribing practices.
Federal officials revealed that one doctor sold ketamine and another taught Perry's assistant how to inject it, shedding light on troubling medical ethics in this case.
Perry was injected multiple times on the day of his death, with levels of ketamine in his system reaching those used for general anesthesia, indicating severe medical mismanagement.
The case raises concerns about the abuse of ketamine, a drug approved for decades but now linked to a range of improper prescribing practices and misuse.
