Re: God Of Sleep

Good stuff, morphine; I'm glad to hear you have it in your ambulance.

The first time I broke my back (T5), I was picked up by a part time ambulance crew from a village 20 miles from the crash site. They gave me morphine by injection immediately, and that made the 40-odd mile journey to hospital very much more bearable than it would otherwise have been. Great people.

The second time I broke it (T12; some people don't learn), when the ambulance crew eventually arrived (not their fault - I spent the first 30 minutes trying to persuade the people around me that I was fine and didn't need any medical treatment, and it wasn't until I'd been given a lift to a GP's surgery that someone had the good sense to ignore me) the crew immediately offered morphine. I suppose being in remote rural area there's more urgency to have morphine on the ambulances, but it's really nice to know it's there if you need it.
