As the daughter of an ER nurse I have heard countless tales of life on the “front line” and how fierce a toll it takes on the medical profession. New this month from UNP is Medic! How I fought World War II with Morphine, Sulfa, and Iodine Swabs by Robert “Doc Joe” Franklin.  His harrowing and dramatic memoir about his career as a front line medic is one of the first of its kind. This is a rare look at the war, from the perspective of one whose only side is on the part of those who are dying. This week Tuesday Trivia will celebrate the medical field and all the uses of Morphine, Sulfa, and Iodine. Care to join us blogger….I can’t promise it won’t hurt- but I’ve got some antiseptic if it does!

Match the drug Morphine/Iodine/Sulfa with the description:

1. This drug is obtained from morphine

2. This is used for the normal function of the thyroid gland

3. These kinds of allergies are common

4. Possession of this without a prescription is illegal
5. These were the first antmicorbial drugs, and led the way to a revolution in  antibiotic medicine

6. This was discovered in 1811 by Bernard Courtois
7. Before it was found to be more addictive, this was used as a cure for opium and alcohol addiction
8. Chemically this substance is the least reactive halogens

9. These drugs are based on antibacterial sulfonamias

10. This drug was named after Morpheus- the Greek God of dreams
