Hope TIPSters didn't see in my comments about scopolamine use during
labor and delivery a little myopia on my part in believing that it
is only used in childbirth as part of a persecutory plot against women.
The argument I'm making is that scopolamine use, in cases to which I
was referring, is the ONLY drug used for "pain relief." (Or in those
cases, as an "alternative" to pain relief.) I'd bet that Paul
received other drugs, opiates, narcotics, etc., in addition to drugs
such as scopolamine. As I posted earlier, scopolamine has its place
pre-surgically and in other medical uses.
In addition, to possibly forestall the "drug-free-childbirth" advocates,
I'm a firm advocate too, but can recognize a persecutory plot against
those who choose pain relief when I see it. {;-)
Have we run a thread on TIPS about pain only being in the eye of the
painee?? Maybe we can start one...
