- supwiggles 14y agoIt is amazing how well morphine can work, and how utterly useless it can be at other times. I found it to be incredibly helpful during the AMI cases, especially for putting the patient as ease, especially when they understand the gravity of the STEMI that they are currently experiencing. We went to a fractured tib/fib (Football injury) and we loaded him up with the maximum dose over the course of treatment (50 minutes or so) and it didn't even touch the sides. Looking back we probably should have called for the IC guys and done some ketamine + realignment.
