Yes, I'm that exact age.
Sorry I was only addressing the reasoning behind paramedics being allowed to administer ketamine in the field and not other drugs. And reviewing this case, I don't see any indication for haloperidol either. They should not have drugged this person at all:

But we should have teams of psychiatric professionals who are qualified to administer things like haloperidol responding to emergency calls that are specifically stated to be for psychiatric crises. I don't really want random paramedics in charge of choosing when to administer haloperidol, which can have significant and permanent side effects even after one dose.

Doxylamine is actually better than diphenhydramine. It has less anticholinergic side effects.
Anticholinergics are really bad for your brain long term. I've started taking an herbal supplement called apigenin, which is derived from chamomile flowers that works surprisingly well. And I say that as a fellow night owl chronic insomniac.
Solar is cheap, easy to scale, easy to repair. Solar is the best option for 90% of the human population. Nuclear is an excellent option for already rich and populous countries that can afford to build and maintain it, and who also have much higher demand for electricity in the first place.
