Wow, Doc Kotwal made a study about it! Cool!
The Fentanyl was lollypop form. The standard dosage procedure was for one lollypop to be administered to a patient requiring pain management. Administration was time based for ease of use, The Medic administering the lollypop would set a timer or keep track of the time. 10 min in the mouth, 10 off, 9 in, 9 out, until it was gone. It definately did an awesome job. One PT was a full blowout of the knee, all tendons and ligaments ruptured (ankle brace caught in suspension lines, landed on one leg w/ injured leg's foot at eye level on casualty) and when he was given the 'pop he was on cloud 9. Did an awesome job on every casualty it was administered on, but the dosage for the lollypops was recommended by everyone to be lowered due to it being significantly greater than required. Some less severe casualties that recieved pain management via lollypop were turned loopy and generally everyone became a litter patient due to inability to stand from effects of the drug.
