Show Notes
Roy looks at the Canadian and U.S. perspectives on the treatment of chronic pain patients. Some who suffer from chronic pain consider suicide because they are being refused their long-standing prescriptions, and meanwhile doctors are afraid that prescribing the medication will lead to them losing their licenses. This is the case in Canada, and a similar struggle is taking place to the south.
Guests:
Marvin Ross, medical writer and publisher, has been covering chronic pain for the past year for the Huffington Post.
Kate Nicholson, U.S. Civil Rights and health policy attorney Kate Nicholson drafted the current regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and managed litigation nationwide.
