Criminalization of Pain
My narrative about the criminalization of pain will be expanded .I have photographed some powerful abstracts to portray victims of severe pain. This is the first in the series, but as always, there are many images in this piece. Please visit and support the work of the PRN @www.painreliefnetwork.com to be informed about the silent crisis in medicine for doctors who specialize in pain management. You can listen to a live interview with Siobhan Reynolds that will illuminate this very serious medical crisis in our country. I have worked with Siobhan Reynolds, the President of PRN to assist her efforts in removing the DEA (drug enforcement agency) from arresting doctors for appropriate treatment of pain without medical peer review and the tragic victims that suffer and often end their lives as a result of their doctors license being revoked and receiving long prison terms. This is a tragic problem and the more informed we are, the more power we have to change the constitutional amendment relating to the controlled substance act. Siobhan has spoken to congress and progress has been made due to her tireless and relentless efforts that are impressive and critical for the safety of patients and their doctors. This groups efforts are essential for patients who suffer from severe pain to receive appropriate treatment and resume healthy lives. I see a man navigating a boat in the blue water on this man’s tormented face trying to make it to the other side. I suffer from chronic migraines so Siobhan’s personal tragedy that precipitated her establishing this impressive organization touches me personally and professionally. My pain mangement doctor lost his license and doctors are being encouraged not to enter the field of pain management for fear of intervention of the DEA and possible imprisonment. I am one of the fortunate ones to find a doctor who has continued to treat me despite the risks involved.

Your eye behind the lens is more deserving, I encourage you to continue to fight for the challenges that mean something in the world with the camera. And stop encouraging the senseless trash as potrayed inTwo Faces, you are more concious than that. This is beautiful work.

I will continue to fight for the many challenges that face us in the world today. However, I also enjoy exploring a wide range of topics, varying graphics and writing. I appreciate your comment on this piece that is a critical issue and very meaningful to me personally and professionally. You mentioned a photo, Two Faces. I am not aware of what you are referring to since I not posted anything with that title.

Julie, this is wonderful! I came across it today, because I’m going to go through your work, slowly and write about the pictures that strike me in one way or another. This photograph is outstanding. There is a wonderful piece written by Frank Lawlis on The Shamanic Approaches in A Hospital Pain Clinic...I don’t know if you’ve read it? But he believes that Pain is necessary for growth and learning. He uses drumming and isolation to help victims face the essence of their own self. It might be something you’ve already read and his chants focus on affirmations..
Every day I am better and better.
I am whole
I am one with the universe...just might be of interest!
Your photograph is fantastic and looks like a Travelling god…that will take the Pain Away
Well done!Sx

Is your version of a victim of “torture”, the woman in the box. That
is a great portrayal of the victims of this tragedy. Thankfully, there
are people fighting to change the controlled substance act to
create an environment where people are treated with care, knowledge
and human decency!
