danes are practical people. (but at least the kid will get it.)

If you are a fifteen year old kid, and you break your arm while playing soccer in Denmark and it's going to be painful to put it back together again, they may give you morphine to help you handle the pain of the procedures. Since you are so young, a nurse will try to explain what the drug will do to you. If your condition is complicated, and you'll need multiple doses of morphine, the same thing may happen several times. Different nurses, same words.

What they say?

"You will feel a buzz, just like when you've had a beer."

At 15, in state-run Danish hospitals.

All according to Helena.
