OT but

There is an urban myth amongst anaesthetists in the uk that a "secret
service" style outfit would extract info from suspects in the
following way:

1) prepare small dose of very rapid acting neuromuscular blocker
(which causes total paralysis of everything including diaphragm) and
which is rapidly metabolised by body in about 2-3 mins - probably
Succinylcholine

2) give dose intravenously and wait for subject to start suffocating
whilst conscious

3) at point at which breathing would recommence give dose of saline IV
whilst calling it "antidote"

4) explain that if info wasn't forthcoming then 2nd dose would be
given with no hope of antidote

5) proffer pen and paper

another version of the story uses proper doses of something like
Vecuronium with actual use of an antagonist to reverse it

either way it would be a very persuasive method
