Morphine has always worked for me.
Crushed L ankle motorcycle accident, shattered R ankle skydiving accident, GSW L forehead, compound fracture L forearm (radius & ulna), broken R hand, dislocated both hips in an equestrian accident, appendectomy, dislocated R shoulder X 2 skydiving, dislocated L shoulder X 2 (quad riding accidents on same day), hernia surgery. I’m only listing major injuries here [;-)
If you are injured remember that the more noise you make in the ambulance the more morphine you get (Demerol (sp?) is a good substitute). Up to their predetermined limit. But if you say nothing you only get the initial dose.
And most important; the ambulance crew won’t remember who you are the next day or tell your friends you wanted more.
If you get hurt morphine is your best most special friend.
Unless you LIKE pain.
I'll second that! Three days on that back in August also took away my craving for nicotine, haven't smoked since August 6th and that's after 50 years of cigarette smoking.
Funny thing about that morphine, I was aware there was some pain but I just didn't give a rat's a$$.
