Hi John and Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I am a chronic pain patient, so I have followed Richard Paey's case and the whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach. What happened to him could have happened to anyone with chronic pain.

The one thing that has bothered me the most is when I read that he tried to get approved for the internal morphine pump years before his arrest - but was denied insurance approval for the surgery of the implant.... and now he has one. He had to go to prison to get the medical treatment he most needed for his chronic pain - yet he ended up in prison because he was trying to treat his chronic pain. This "war on drugs" sure isn't helping anyone, especially chronic pain patients like Richard Paey and the pain management doctors who try to help their patients.

Welcome to NeuroTalk
