    I'll avoid taking painkillers, but I have no problem taking stuff like Ibuprofen which has anti-inflammatory and will help me heal with less trauma.

    I'd be the same tbh, well apart from headaches. Muscle pain and its straight to the anti inflammatories for me

    Yup, I've always subscribed to the idea that you can build up too much of a resistance to painkillers and as such I've avoided them in case I really need them after some major accident/surgery/w/e and I want them to work as effectively.

    Although I do recall having a major Calpol addiction as a kid but that's just because it tasted so damn good. Should really be some sort calpol cocktail.

    I've never had morphine, id love to give it a try!

    My mum was on loads of morphine when she shattered her hip a few years back. A member of staff passing her room said 'Good morning Harriet' and she thought he said 'Good morning campers'. She thought she was in a holiday camp and was wondering where her sister, who she was convinced she was sharing the room with, was gone.

    My mum told me once that while my uncle was on morphine, about 8 years ago, after a major operation, he became convinced that he was Britney Spears and told everyone who'd listen that he had to get to his concert. :pac:

    Is morphine the strongest painkillers you can get?

    I'll never forget the time i was in A&e with an asthma attack and there was a poor aulfella in absolute agony with his back. He could barely move and was in almost in tears with pain, the nurses refused him any pain relief! I felt so bad for him!

    I hate seeing anyone like that. I feel helpless/useless.

    My heart went out to him. He was about 60, and either he was genuinely in agony, or he was worthy of an Oscar. I've never seen anyone in that much pain. The nurses were just like 'Sorry we can't give you any pain relief till you see a doctor'. By the time he arrived I had already been waiting about 5 hours (barely able to breath) so he had a long, painful night ahead of him.

    That's cruel. I'm sure they have their reasons (as stated) but FFS help the man!

    That wasn't the worst I've seen. One time I was in a&e (more bloody asthma) and in was DRAGGED one of the biggest scumbags, screaming and shouting, that I've ever encountered......... with 3/4's of his lip dangling off. Literally his lip was just flapping around on his chin. It was absolutely vile. And hilarious because his girlfriend had bitten the feckin' thing off!!!

    Apparently you could bite through your finger as easily as you would a carrot, but your brain doesn't let you. It's always interesting how much damage humans can do to one another when they ignore natural instinct.

    Reminds me of a story years ago about a guy taking his own eyes out with a claw hammer while he was on acid. Thought there was rats in there or something. So I'll go with acid.

    Jesus Christ!!!! Things that drugs do to people!!

    Had morphine myself and was laid out on the table/bed with the really bright triple lights over me. Was convinced aliens had abducted me and I was asking where Mulder and Scully were :) Also asked something like if I could rollercoaster on the rings of Saturn??

    To the other extreme on it and due to the serious head injuries, I thought the fan by the bed to keep me cool was about to fall on top of me and rip my face off. Have never before felt such a sense of horror and incapability to remedy the "situation" at the same time. Petrifying!!

    So tomorrow I get to take my brother (drug dependent hypochondriac) to the doctors. After 8 years of hell my poor mam is clutching at straws and somehow thinks having his little sister sitting in a doctors office will be some kind of wake up call. In a way I can see where she's coming from because I have a lot less emotional attachment than she does and will actually be able to tell a doctor what the story is. But I also know it will achieve absolutely nothing. A waste of petrol is what it is. But hey, I'll get the driving experience if nothing else!

    Jesus that doesn't sound good sounds like it's been rough :( hopefully he'll get sorted. But Yay more driving experience.

    Jesus I thought I had, had some experience on drink and other stuffs in the past but chewing your own hands off shiit. Some people mentally just shouldn't drink or touch any drugs it's personifies the issue ten fold..

    Oh and working Sunday nights is depressing.

    People have shouted and stuff has been smashed. I'm fairly certain some of my neighbours have killed each other.
