The authorities can do what ever they want, and they do..... it is even ok

for them to lie to get what they want, and they do......

What I was talking about was for pain patients to go to doctors offices and

tell them their terrible plight and ask for pain meds and record the

doctors response.

9 times out of 10 the doctor will not help them. Mostly because of

regulatory concerns.

It would be good to have some taped coversations to coroberate this in a

hearing or such..

Sincerely,

Donovan J. M.D.
