This is an excellent video and it highlights the perception that our society has toward people that take medication(drugs) for chronic pain. What is needed in the media is for the reporters to put pain medication and chronic pain in its proper perspective. And, as Ken in the video expressed, they need to have some compassion and express that compassion to the larger society. I don’t think we want to move to a compassionless society. Healthcare is taking care of peoples needs with regard to their health. A person with chronic pain needs help just as much as that person with the flu. No person can function even close to normal if they are in severe pain. Just because we cannot see that persons pain does not meant that person does not have pain.
