Etomidate (I'm on a date)...
Why "I'm on a date?" Well, in nurse anesthesia school we were trying to figure out how to remember dosages and since Etomidate's dosing was 0.2 (to 0.3) we always thought "Etomidate, I'm on a date..it's just 2 people (or in this case 0.2). Yea, a little bit of a stretch, but here I am 17 years later and I still remember this.
