Just to confirm, since Linda's incredulity made me wonder if I hadn't explained
properly in message of 31/12 - diamorphine (heroin) is indeed used for pain
relief during labour in over 50% of Scottish prims. Linda's response implies
that it is rarely (never?) used in the US - is this correct? Is it used
anywhere else? I would love to know -
TIA
