I am a member of Pain Relief Network. In my latest email, there was an announcement of a new book available now called Pain in American & how our Government makes it worse!
I only skimmed the reviews, hopefully if I did this right the reviews will show up below. This is a book I definately want to buy.
Editorial Reviews Review "This is a book about one of America's most important untold stories: the incredibly misguided war the federal government is waging on physicians whose only crime is a desire to heal their patients' persistent pain. As Flannery writes in the introduction, this appalling miscarriage of justice is a product of "ignorance, junk science, misplaced religious zeal, misdirected social policy, and plain old arrogance.
The above is only a tiny bit - you all should check it out. I found it on Amazon

Humm.... that does sound like a good book! Hopefully it comes in hardback? I don't care for the CD versions where someone reads it to me! I can read a book in a day if it's a really good book! Doesn't matter if it's a rainy, cold or sunny day! Sunny day = laying in lawn chair, Raining day = snuggled up on couch and cold day = snuggled up on a chair by the fire! Either way is good to me! :0
