Beachdoc (Jeff): My wilderness kit presumes the use of analgesics only if the pain seem severe enough to cause life-threatening complications. Assume 1)no head injury 2) legal/DEA issues regarding controlled substance are taken care of.... what are your thoughts about Morphine Sulphate (e.g. the Oramorph SR 15mg.). They're quite small, and my understanding is that they rarely fail to work. Aside from possible nausea, should I be concerned enough about anything else to re-consider.

You're a great sport and quite an asset to the forum. My MD colleagues don't like to give free advice even about the day of the week. I usually have to buy at least one beer.
