Doctor Is Getting Ahead Of Himself

(My seven-year-old son broke his arm. The anesthetist is explaining to us what to expect with the sedative they are going to use before setting the bone.)
Doctor: “Ketamine is a dissociative safe for kids. It puts them in a trance-like state where they can’t feel anything. The pain signals don’t reach the brain. It kind of cuts the head off from the rest of the body.”
My Already Distressed Son: “YOU’RE GOING TO WHAAAAT?!”
Doctor: “Oops.”
