I've heard of atropine, but wasn't sure what it was for...did a quick Google check, but couldn't quite deciper the "medical-speak!" :) Sounds like it's a kind of pain killer, though...and I found this tid- bit kinda interesting:
"Atropine extracts from the Egyptian henbane were used by Cleopatra in the last century B.C. to dilate her pupils, in the hope that she would appear more alluring. In the Renaissance, women used the juice of the berries of Atropa belladonna to enlarge the pupils of their eyes, for cosmetic reasons; 'belladonna' is Italian for 'beautiful lady'." **************************************************** "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world; You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed..." --Antoine de Saint-Exupéry "If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys." -- Chief Dan George ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 9:17 am Subject: Re: anesthesia question > > Yes, she did have a pain killer shot.
