You don’t decide when you have pain, and you can’t turn it off with a cold shower.

I can't believe what I'm reading here...So anyone who has pain gets to break the law? We get to break laws based on what we think of then? Hate to break this to you, there are other ways to control pain than to take mass quantities of narcotics.

"Hate to break this to you, there are other ways to control pain than to take mass quantities of narcotics."

Hey, would you mind sharing those 'other ways' with those of us that could benefit from your vast knowledge and experience? I don't take any narcotics and don't want to, but I DO have chronic back pain (I have tried acupuncture...it didn't work for me).

I didn’t say it was ok to break the law as archaic as it may be.

I only said that you can decide to screw your staff like Letterman did, but you don’t have that decision with pain.

Try to keep things in context.
