Was morphine common in the 1960s?
While morphine was being used illicitly at the time, and although there was a successful black market for morphine, heroin was much more popular and was considered a larger threat. the DEA knew of one smuggling ring that moved 200lbs of morphine into the U.S. every week back in 1968.

Is Fentanyl an anesthetic medication?
Fentanyl originally was developed as an anesthetic, and is still widely used today for surgical procedures where the patient needs to be conscious (relatively) and able to respond to commands (e.g., bronchoscopy). Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine (100 micrograms of Fentanyl is equivalent to 10mg's of Morphine). Fentanyl patches (Duragesic, e.g.) use concentrated doses of Fentanyl delivered to the bloodstream transdermally over extended periods, which make them ideal for long term chronic pain patients.
Hospitals of the civil war?
Hospitals of these times were very crude. Sometimes someones home, bark, or a church was used as a hospital. Often times the wounded were cared for in a make shift tent or and open field. The conditions were very unsanitary. Infections ran rapid because of the lack of antibiotics and the lack of sterilized instruments. Nurses and surgeons often did not wash their hands between patients. It was unknown that hand washing prevented the spread of infections and disease. Often times soldiers had to have limbs amputated due to gangrene. During these times there was some anesthetic used but often times anesthetic was not available. The anesthetic would have been ether or chloroform. The problem with chloroform is that it can be toxic and is a respiratory depressant. Ether is that it was highly flammable. If no anesthetic was available the most prized surgeon where those who could amputate a leg the fastest. Morphine was available as a pain killer but is highly addictive. Morphine became known as the soldier's disease.
