Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hi Sonja, I'm not an expert but from my experience morphine is one of the best treatments for pain I have ever heard of. Of course there are different concentrations of morphine. And the stronger are more effective. Fentanal is also an excellent treatment for pain. Opium is excellent but almost impossible to obtain, it can be melted and injected, or even smoked in a very small pipe for administration. I may be way out on a very small limb with this but in Russia, I've heard that even in hospitals it is not uncommon that sometimes drugs like morphine are stolden and then the shortage is dulited to appear to be the normal quantity. Then the drug given to the patient is not as effective as it should be. This is almost impossible to check and verify. One might check to assure there is a factory seal on the container before application. this is easy in the USA but may be non-egistant in Russia. Best wishes, Poncho GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
