Why are you trying to prove that one is better than the other before looking at the data?

Well I guess I shouldn't say I'm trying to prove one is better than the other, I'm just trying to find the advantages and disadvantages of both because I need to write a paper on why morphine is better than fentanyl. So far I'm finding that they're pretty comparable.

Morphine tends to be liked more for burns.
Fentanyl honestly is the more suited narcotic for EMS.. quick onset, multiple easy routes of administration, relatively short halflife (so if you get a stupid doctor who freaks out about narcotics with abd pain), less vasoactive properties than morphine...

Why is morphine like more for burns
Yeah, I've found a couple studies that have said those same things. However, my medical director wants a paper on why morphine is better...

Maybe he's trying to see if you'll fight on the wrong side of a debate because you were told to...

My thoughts exactly. Why not explain the benefits of both and how they both have their place?

No one knows... it just seems to work better. Honestly, probably one of the biggest anecdotal things in medicine that's just accepted. Burn patients tend to get copious amounts of morphine.

Going to a grocery store on my overnights is kind of a tradition for me....or maybe more of a habit......ok it's a full blow OCD thing, DON'T JUDGE ME. Besides where else are you going to be offered drugs, sex, and witness two bum fights all in a 4 mile walk. I feel so urban.

Walk up to Reno and I'll treat you to a beer. Sac-town isn't that far away.

I suppose that could be, however, my medical director is so incredibly against fentanyl it's not even funny. But, I'll just explain the benefits of each and see how that goes.
