Everything is relative. Considering how I felt BEFORE the morphine pump when the first ER doctor missed my boroken ribs, bleeding lung etc and set me home with 800 mg ibuprofen and a sling....the hospital bed and morphine was heaven.with the sort of fractures I had my arm was no longer solidly fixed to any part of my body, and I literally had bone jamming into my lung the sling and ibuprofen didn't get me far.

The plate and 8 screws, morphine pump, chest tube and oxygen were all massive improvements.....

The first ER doctor accused me of being a drug seeker. Because obviously as a veterinarian with my own DEA license the easiest way for me to get drugs was to break a bunch of bones.
