Isn't that what heavy doses of morphine do? I mean I have had two terrible accidents involving crushed limbs, blood loss, trauma, internal organ damage, and shock. In both cases morphine and Demerol given through an IV push put me into what you would call hibernation all right.The only exception was one time an accident included brain injury and seizures which I was unaware I was having, precluded any meds other than those to reduce brain swelling and seizures (Dilantin). The pain levels were rather uncomfortable in that one.

Those times don’t sound like they were lots of fun, but it’s good that you lived to tell about them.

Yes, who knows? Maybe they will call it demerphine.
