The morphine should be there as soon as it's needed. I'm sorry you had to drive out for paracetamol.

It may be Dhiren is not thirsty but has a dry mouth. You could try an artificial saliva spray. These are very pleasant - you just spray them in the mouth - they are minty or lemony in taste. About £8 from the chemist or see if Dhiren is written up for one.
Don't worry that he is thirsty or hungry. These sensations go as the body doesn't need food. If he was hungry, he'd have let you know.
