Longtimers on the City will recall I nearly died from an aneurism on my right femoral artery, secondary to a cardiac stent insertion, back in 1997. I recieved a full bolus of Morphine (first and only time I had the drug), and still felt no effects against the pain for over an hour.

Morphine is good for acute pain as long as the dosing is appropriate i.e. at least 0.1 mg/kg given intravenously

There are other, more suitable, medicines such as ketamine, fentanyl or tramadol depending upon the specific circumstances
