I'm not a fan of Carson's sometimes either..but if you notice, Carson does get away with a lot while Rodney is called on every single thing..but that's just my opinion. I think that Rodney has been the butt (not pun intended) of a lot of jokes, and sometimes, it's a the character's expense.
One thing I didn't see coming..it was so built up that if anyone stepped in, Ronon would kill them..Carson shoots the Wraith and he gets a hug???
While I do love the team dynamic, and I think a lot of what is said is that familiarity between them (even though Teyla has barely ever done anything like that to Rodney).
I really loved this episode though, but Carson can get on my nerves, the most MOST out of anyone, only because he gets the most leeway out of all of them. If Rodney had come up with that retrovirus..how many times would they had let them use it?
So yes, I did love this episode, I can see a lot of it being them just so comfortable they just say things to each other, but Carson, just can get on my last nerve sometimes. But I do think he thought that Rodney was going overboard with his complaining..but that's not for me to say, that's all on the writer.
Even though this is not directed at me, I just have to chime in to agree with what you said. I just recently thought of Trinity and how Rodney had to practically beg for forgiveness (not only Zelenka who's understandable but everyone else's as well) whereas Carson is co-responsible for creating a treatment that killed off half of a planet's population and now for creating this retrovirus. Carson's ego is just as big as Rodney's, at least he's as sure of his professional research - just not so obvious about it. Otherwise, he'd have abandoned the retrovirus after "Michael" at the latest.
And about the original topic here: I completely agree. Something's off - but then, I'd say something's off with Carson in general, not just with his treatment of Rodney. And medically speaking: Granted, patients have different reactions to the same medicine - but I doubt this was the first time Rodney was treated with morphine, so Carson really should have the dosage worked out by now. And quite honestly, I wouldn't want my doctor to have my coworkers be witness to my delusional reaction to a drug - especially since it was obvious that I wouldn't be able to give a coherent report.

He could be thinking it yes... but I sense he's dismissing far too much. But yeah, it could totally be the writers.
