I should add that I wouldn't hesitate to give iv opioids to anyone in severe
pain for whom manipulation would be delayed (eg. 1st time dislocation
requiring x-ray). On the whole I reckon UK EPs are now pretty good at
analgesia compared with the 'old days'. Hadn't seen i.m. morphine given for
years until I came to Australia!
