cranapple juice will also help flush those drugs.

When I broke my back and had surgery I went nuts and found out they had been overdosing me with morphine! Some nurse caught it and called my doctor. He had transposed a number in the chart and I was getting about twice as much as I should. I now have a morbid feeling about hospitals, not really a fear but can't stand to watch hospital shows on TV. It's almost like I have flashbacks! I'd almost rather die than go to a hospital. Just being there is more painful than any of the procedures they do on me, including poking and sticking with sharp instruments. Glad you are home Ok and they did not succeed in murdering you.

When Dan had his heart attack back in 2000 or so, he had no pain. We worked at a hospital, so it was easy to get him to ER, but once they got him to the ER room, they diagnosed him and shifted him to ICU. Never had he had any pain. Over the next few hours, they feed him morphine, though he was not in pain. He became very animated, loved all the nurses and doctors and everybody; very excited. ICU, a couple of hours later, they're feeding him pork chops. All of a sudden he conks out. They ran me out of his room and began life-preserving measures. An hour later, they let me back in.

For the next two hours he was so animated, I couldn't relate to him. I asked the nurses what they were giving him. Morphine. Why? He's not in pain. Well, just a matter of course. I told the docs and nurses to take him OFF the morphine and try something else to settle him down. After all, he was NOT in pain. If they wanted him to settle down, there are other medications.

The next morning, I go in and he's sooooooo dooooscile.... he's just the dream of a patient. Doesn't move, but opens his eyes and smiles, then just drifts off to sleep. I asked the nurse and she said, "We discovered what it is he doesn't need." Morphine.

He recovered remarkably.

Morphine can be an upper or a knocker-outer. Depends on the patient. Always be there to approve or question you loved one's care. Please.

Glad you're out and home aa. Hang in there. Know the feeling though. Dr. gave daughter morphine after reading the chart. A bit later she was in respiratory distress-called the nurse (no help there)...called the head nurse. She looked at the chart, saw the morph. drip, and removed it. Daughter has asthma, turned out morphine is a contraindicaton for asthma. Got her an inhaler, put her on O2 and chewed out the dr. LOL Still a few good nurses out there that know their stuff and stand up for their patients. :thumbsup:

Well just glad to have you back good buddy. :thumbsup:
