This a companion piece to my graphic and editorial on the criminalization of pain. Executive director of the Pain Relief Network, Siobhan Reynolds has devoted her life to patients who suffer pain and those who treat them. The harsh reality is that people who endure severe pain often find out how difficult it is to find a doctor to treat pain. It is an unbelievable situation that people do not think they will confront until the problem unfortunately involves them, their family and friends. Good physicians are bearing the wrath of the federal government. It is common sense that Medical boards need to revoke licenses from those doctors in any medical practice who do not follow legal and ethical medical practice without the best interests of their patients as their primary focus. We have come to expect good medical care in this country. Up until middle 90’s, patients were treated for pain, but since then, physicians have turned away from treating pain adequately for fear of federal prosecution. Our expectations have changed as a necessary and positive part of good medical practice and we don’t think of doctors treating pain inadequately fearing the red flags that lead to raids of doctor’s offices and medical records by our federal government. Thousands of people who are critically or chronically ill and in severe pain are caught in a terrible crisis and want the problem addressed by the Congress to change the Controlled Substances Act. Appalled by what I experienced as a patient and staying informed for my patients with the help of Siobhan Reynolds. I join her fight to reverse this travesty. I have written to my Congressional representatives to aid her efforts. You can hear taped interviews of Ms. Reynolds on her website, pain relief network. She speaks about a doctor facing a prison sentence for 100 years. The DEA feels this doctor was fooled when she wrote two prescriptions in her office in South Carolina. It is a personal and professional mission of mine that patients receive appropriate pain care in the United States. I have seen many patients who have an extremely difficult time finding doctors who will prescribe opiates including cancer patients when there can be no rational for oral medication in the last stages of the disease. I had a patient whose mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died three months after her diagnosis that naturally came as a shock to her son and daughters. There have been breakthroughs in pain medications for cancer patients and those who suffer from chronic pain. Without doctors, who will prescribe these medications? How has medical research been served? As I stated in my last narrative on this issue and others to come, I urge you to be informed about this crisis. Begin with reading the content on the pain relief network and also Siobhan Reynolds informed and highly intelligent testimony to the United States Congress. We all are vulnerable to the consequences of this serious medical crisis. People not only suffer needlessly in agony, but millions of deaths are attributed to the brutal punishment the body sustains from severe pain and patient suicides when no hope is in sight. After the death of her mother who succumbed to pancreatic cancer, her daughter asked me to listen to Carly Simon’s song, Like A River. Carly Simon wrote letters that were never sent to her mother and others and eventually the letters became an album, Letters Never Sent. When I listen to this exceptionally talented writer and musician, I think of the needless suffering of patients, but also of the families and friends who loved these special people who died before their time. My mother also died before her time so many tears stained the pages of these lyrics that are also in book form. My mother’s story is a fascinating one that I look forward to sharing with you. Like A River lyrics (Carly Simon) Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river… Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into… I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river… In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt ‘Cause you’re already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there’s a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into… I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river… I’ll never leave, always just a dream away A star that’s always watching Never turn away We’ll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I’m right beside you I’ll never turn away.

The mobile phone also called a wireless, cellular phone, cell phone), or cell, is a long-range, portable electronic device used for mobile communication that uses a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones can support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

In computing, a mouse functions as a pointing device by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse consists of a small case, held under one of the user’s hands, with one or more buttons. It sometimes features other elements, such as wheels, which allow the user to perform various system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features can add more control or dimensional input.

May MeetUp

UPCOMING: Adelaide Photographers MeetUp About five weeks ago half-a-dozen Adelaide photographers converged on the Adelaide Zoo for a day of networking, social chitchat and LOTs of photography. This time I’m organising a “City-Walk” where we walk, talk and shoot architecture and objects. Here is the area of the city I’d be interesting in walking.. Yes, this is a large area! I happily walk around ALL day, photographing people, architecture and oddities. DID YOU COME TO SEE THE LIST OF ATTENDEES? You can view it here . Moved for easy-viewing. EDIT: 11:29 PM 17/05/2009 Big thanks to everyone who has responded and is interested: The date has been decided: 31st May Here is the plan for the day: Between 11.00am-12.00noon – Meet at Rotunda on Elder Park. / We all know it, surely. Early arrivals can scope out a good place to watch everyone arriving and get their portrait shots! (I’ll be there at 11.00am!) 12noon – 12.45pm / Walk up KW Road to North Terrace, turning right at Parliament House down toward the Casino/Train Station. Quick visit into the atrium to photograph. It is permitted, I’ve done this on Flickr-group meetups. Continue down North Terrace to the Morphett Road Bridge. 12.45pm – 4.00pm / OPTION 1: / We turn right, crossing the bridge, walking all the way to War Memorial Drive. Those that wish to can take the stairs (just beyond the river that takes you) down to the Torrens … and we all meetup just in front of the Tennis Stadium (or thereabouts). We walk and photograph the length of War Memorial Drive, back across the bridge at KW Road, back to the Rotunda. We then walk up KW Street. From here, read from where option #2 is underlined. OPTION 2. / Just before the bridge, we cross over to photograph the historic Church. (You’ll know it when you get there!) We then walk up Morphet Street, turn LEFT into Hindley Street and we walk and photograph interesting sites along the way. There are few interesting locations behind buildings, (particularly those toy-cars stuck to the wall in Rosina Street) that we can detour to see. When we reach KW Street, we cross over to Rundle Mall to go shoot the Brass Pigs and the Silver Balls! At Pultney Street, we turn left; At North Terrace, we turn left (Some may choose to cross the road). / Photographing historic limestone architecture along the way, we head back to the KW Road intersection, taking the pedestrian lights over to Government House. Here I can show you some interesting facts that I discovered a few years back that is not-overly-publicised! / We then cross the road to Parliament House, and walk back to the Rotunda Wait, wait, you want food and drinks: At some point in Hindley Street or Rundle Mall we find a nice coffee shop! Considering all the chatting and stopping that normally occurs with these events, this will surely fill the afternoon. If anyone knows of any events happening in the CBD that are happening the same weekend, tell us about it now so we can jostle it into the timeline. EXTRA (courtesy of Michael Tapping) / Government House and Grounds are open to the Public on Sunday 31st May between 10.00 AM and 4.00PM / We’ll go there from the Rotunda before moving into the CBD. This may take some time! Tag word for event is asacitywalkmay2009
