Siobhan Reynolds is the Director of the Pain Relief Network.  Pain Relief Network (PRN) was formed to oppose the Federal Government crackdown on the treatment of chronic pain. It is a network of pain patients, family members of people in pain, physicians, attorneys, and activists. Discusses Pain Relief Network's efforts in a 2007 Kansas case against a Dr. Schneider who was charge with killing 59 patients with pain medicine. The Judge cut the case down to 14 deaths.  But the Prosecutor has gone after Reynolds and the Pain Relief Network and now both are bankrupt. The Sloan Kettering academic community is fighting to be able to fight pain. U.S. government is refusing to recognize that opiates duplicate a chemical found in our spinal cord.  One doctor who was prosecuted for providing pain relief medicine, Dr. Ben Moore, committed suicide after pleading guilty to violating the Controlled Substances Act. This is a complex problem.
