A medical clinic in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) is advertising on buses that they administer intravenous Ketamine to help people with depression. Given the perverse incentives of for-profit medicine, side effects and risks, is this really an alternative to therapy, CBT and other approaches?

The austere beauty of the Dava Moor (just north of Grantown-on-Spey) on a fresh and sunny February morning...nothing better.

Drive home today included a wee detour to the 127 year old Culloden-Nairn viaduct. At 29 arches it’s the longest masonry viaduct in #Scotland and used daily by ScotRail passenger services.

A bit of nature bathing this morning: up before the sunrise to visit with the Oystercatchers, Dunlins, Curlews, Jackdaws, Gulls and Pink Footed Geese at the @rspbscotland.bsky.social Culbin Sands Reserve. Just a chorus of birds and miles of white sand beach (sound up!). #Scotland
