1. If a casualty is already a T1 and has been administered Morphine as long as their injuries require them to remain a T1 then T1 is the correct Priority for Evac.
2. If the Casualty is a T2 and has been administered Morphine unless the injuries warrant his/her priority being up graded to Priority T1 the priority for Evac remains at T2.
3. If the Casualty is a T3 and has been Administered Morphine their maybe a requirement to upgrade the Evac priority to T2 but NOT to a T1.
