Answers: What is morphine? And, what was it used for in WWII?
Potent pain medicine. In WWII, evacuation was not as quick as it is now, and an injured GI might lie in the field for hours before the Medics got to him. Each man was issued a few styrettes of morphine- little squeeze tubes with a needle- stick it in your leg, squeeze- that is all you had to do.
Abuse was not common.
its a pain reliever, used to relieve pain.
Highly addictive. Stay way from it.
morphine is a very potent pain killer. A soldier had a small injectable dose of it in his pocket so that a medic could give it to him if he was wounded. Ofcourse it can be abused like any drug and this also happened.
it is a analgesic narcotic and yes it was used in world war 2. It does have other properties such as a peripheral vasodialator.
