Bob and I became friends after someone convinced me to join the APDF’s BOD, some 4-5 yrs ago. Bob has very good intentions. Like many other chronic painers who are also advocates, many practitioners have built-in biases about taking advice about pain management from someone who does not have a medical background. Often they are viewed as supporting prescribing a controlled substance and/or advocating against some of the medications that are prescribed off-label for pain. While Bob’s batting average is not a 1000 on advocating for chronic pain pts, no one’s is. Because of Bob, there is a large number of end-stage pediatric cancer pts who had a less painful last few days/weeks/months of their life and parents who did not have to see their kids live in agony the last days/weeks/months and they had many “extra days” with their kid.
