Morphine, sold under many trade names, is a pain medication of the opiate type. It acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to decrease the feeling of pain. It can be used for both acute pain and chronic pain. Morphine is also frequently used for pain from myocardial infarction and during labour. It can be given by mouth, by injection into a muscle, by injecting under the skin, intravenously, into the space around the spinal cord, or rectally. Maximum effect is around 20 min when given intravenously and 60 min when given by mouth while duration of effect is between three and seven hours. Long-acting formulations also exist.
Potentially serious side effects include a decreased respiratory effort and low blood pressure. Morphine has a high potential for addiction and abuse. If the dose is reduced after long-term use, withdrawal may occur. Common side effects include drowsiness, vomiting, and constipation. Caution is advised when used during pregnancy or breast feeding, as morphine will affect the infant.
Morphine is a 2008 Russian film by Aleksei Balabanov.
The film is based on semi-autobiographical short stories by Mikhail Bulgakov.
The film takes place in the early 20th century. A young Russian doctor called Mikhail Polyakov (Leonid Bichevin) arrives at a small hospital in a remote village. Having freshly graduated from medical school, with little experience, he is the only doctor in the rural district. He works hard, earning the respect of his small staff (one paramedic and two nurses).
After an allergic reaction to a diphtheria vaccination, he has his nurse Anna give him morphine to negate the effects. Gradually he slips into addiction.
Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix is a remix album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on May 20, 1997 by Epic Records and is the second album released by Jackson's own record label, MJJ Productions. The album is made up of eight remixes from Jackson's previous studio album HIStory, and five new songs. Jackson was heavily involved with the production of the new material while the remixes were produced by other artists. The new material dealt with themes such as drug addiction, sex and relationships, and paranoia. The album, like HIStory, featured Michael playing several instruments.
The album received minimal promotion by Jackson's standards, particularly in the United States. Still, a film, two singles ("Blood on the Dance Floor" and "HIStory/Ghosts") and three music videos were issued as promotion. Reviews at the time of release were largely mixed, some critics felt that Jackson had already explored these musical themes while others criticized what they perceived as weak vocals. Other critics were favorable, with praise issued for similarities to the music of Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor.
I wear these sins as lines across my face
Retracing the years that i cannot replace
Constant reminders are all that I see
My own reflection keeps laughing at me
I haven't felt the way I wanted in far to damn long
I still give into my vices knowing that it's wrong
Not even morphine can kill the pain
Increase the dosage but I feel the same
Like I'm dead inside yet still alive
And blood within in my veins
Nothing I won't try just stay alive
I'll do anything it takes
Just kill the pain
Just kill the pain
It's indecision countered by my fits
Your words of wisdom still flow apon the fits
Just cause your hearing me now it doesn't
Mean you know so dont turn to me my friend
Cause even this is another damn song
you can never understand
Not even morphine can kill the pain
Increase the dosage but I feel the same
Like I'm dead inside yet still alive
The blood within in my veins
Nothing I won't try to stay alive
I'll do anything it takes
Just kill the pain
Yeah just kill the pain
I wear these sins as lines across my face
Retracing the years that i cannot replace
Not even morphine can kill the pain!
Increase the dosage but I feel the same
Like I'm dead inside yet still alive
Blood within in my veins
Nothing I won't try to stay alive
I'll do anythin it takes
Just kill the pain
