We are not worried about diversion of lasix (although I have seen some pretty strange happenings in homes with severe diversion issues). Lasix is an alternate option to consider as an alternate to morphine when there may be diversion issues in the home (as I stated originally).

I guess I am not aware of any situation that would warrant replacing morphine with lasix, so therefore did not understand the comment.
