Siobhan Reynolds - Pain Relief Network

Siobhan Reynolds, President of the Pain Relief Network and defender of people in pain sees Washington State as the patient’s last real opportunity to stop the War On Drugs from completely destroying a free and voluntary doctor/patient relationship, “Between Obamacare, The War On Drugs and the media’s rapacious focus on celebrity addiction, people in pain who merely want to live their lives and take care of their families are instead being herded like cattle into “safety programs’ which are anything but safe.” She goes on to say, “despite Washington State’s contentions that they are merely looking out for the welfare of citizens in pain, the data does not demonstrate that a public health crisis in overdose and addiction even exists. What the data does say is that some 25 to 33 percent of the American people suffer from the deadly disease of chronic non- cancer pain.”
