In our thread on the topic, we've established that the current recommended maximum for morphine is 15 mg, and Freud was said to have been administered 20 mg in a published account, and 30 mg in an unpublished. Last night I was watching an early re-run of the US TV programme "The Prctice". One story line concerned a doctor on trial for euthanizing his patient with morphine. The dose that the doctor admitted to administering was 2000 mg. I guess the writers wanted to leave no doubt that the dose was what killed the patient! It's an intelligent programme, BTW, and it gave a thoughtful and dramatic presentation of the arguments for and against. (Bobby Donnell is the protagonist defending lawyer. He lost the case.) -Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stephen Black, Ph.D. tel: (819) 822-9600 ext 2470 Department of Psychology fax: (819) 822-9661 Bishop's University e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lennoxville, QC J1M 1Z7 Canada Department web page at http://www.ubishops.ca/ccc/div/soc/psy ------------------------------------------------------------------------
