      Farenheit 451.

      Montag gets chased by… roughly, robotic cheetahs or leopards, with hypodermic needles for teeth.

        As one of the many the gets horrible nauseating headaches and emesis at just the tiniest dose of morphine, that scene stuck with me…

          Sorry to hear that…

          It stuck with me as well, read that book 20+, almost 30+ years ago, in I think 6th grade…

          But conversely, despite having been in many situations in my life where I have been in extreme pain, at a hospital/clinic, I’ve never had or been given morphine or oxy or anything like that.

          Docs/Nurses just don’t believe me, I guess because I am not screaming and flailing and moaning… because I have a higher than normal pain tolerance… they just give me acetometaphen.
