We are speaking about Frida Khalo’s extreme pains and how she got rid of them, momentarily, by using morphine.

We all say that fortunately we never had to use it.

One of us suddenly feels the need to confess: he once ended up in hospital in terrible pain chest.  He ran through several medical tests and, in the meantime, the pain was so excruciating that the doctors decided to inoculate him with morphine.

His wife remembers the experience.  But she can’t remember how the episode was diagnosed.

-It finally was gas- he said.

-You had gas and they gave you morphine???!!!
