homework assignment for reading for MONDAY 09/17

If I were a doctor and someone would be in an excruciating pain I would probably decide to use the morphine, BUT if my patient would become addictive to morphine, I would probably prescribe my patient something else than morphine. I understand that my patient is in pain, but I woudn't want to at the same time make my patient something, as morphine in this case, that would make my patient to be addictive to it. I wouldn't want my patient to be in pain at the same time as well as becoming addictive to a morphine, which is considered drug.
