Hey everyone:
I was on a call this AM where a 71y/o lady had fallen 3 days ago and she had severe pain in her legs, arms, and chest wall. we could not move her so I gave her morphine (as per our protocol) this helped, we got her out. So I gave report and the doc was there. When I said I gave Morphine he said we give narcotics way too much. when it is not needed. We could not even move her an inch with out her screaming in pain. I thought it was warranted what do you all think?????
