oral morphine in my pocket which i was given months earlier for hip pain,i had some of that to try and numb the pain,but to no affect.i was sick in the sink next to the trolley bed.the person did not seem interested in giving me pain relief any earlier.once i had the morphine in a vein in my hand the pain subsided completely. another time i went to heartlands hospital with pain caused by the same thing.i was told to wait in a room in a chair.it was overnight till i got a bed in the morning the next day.i was given no treatment,there was no doctor available.the year was 2013 or 2014.
