I have run into a situation at my ems service. I myself advocate pain managment when given appropriately and I do not hesitate to give it. Even though we have a pain managment protocol, morphine and fentanyl a lot of the older medics at my service frown upon it. How do I deal with this and approach it? Also I transported a ventilator pt. interfacility who was on a propofol drip but able to respond via hand gestures. I asked the nurse for analgesia and she comes back with 2mg of morphine. during transport I asked if he was still in pain and he responded with a yes in hand gestures and I administerd 50ug of fentanyl and the field training officer told me he already recieved 2mg of morphine, I responded that the pt. was 300 pounds and intubated. Am I wrong here? how do I deal with this?
