You missed out badly, I had morphine on demand on the button (unplanned dismount, 6 ribs through right lung, broken shoulderblade). It's lovely stuff, I tended to store it up then multiple button press at the first sign of a boring visitor, instantly boredom banished! After 4 days it was purely recreational, after 5 I asked for it to be removed as I was liking it too much.

Talk of morphine triggers me. I had major surgery on my knee and they put me on a morphine drip with a button to press. Only they didn't tell me I had to press a button and dropped it under the bed. So the button wasn't being pressed and I was getting nothing.
Took them three days to realise that I was 'recovering' from major surgery with no pain relief at all, by which stage they couldn't get the pain back under control, no matter how often I pressed the button. Worst week ever.
