However, it is between Rush and his Doctor to decide what kind of medication he should use. Not any more. The Rush story is just a small part of a larger witchhunt against all doctors, especially those who specialize in pain treatments. Sending a doctor to prison is a big feather in a prosecutor's hat.

I think you might be right. I am going to a pain specialist, and he has to have his patients sign contracts and he very carefully monitors us. There is a stigma against pain sufferers as evidenced on this thread by some, who consider anyone who has to have the meds a junkie! They also want to lump us into the same category as street junkies. Walk a mile in my shoes!
