Patient's Letter & Anchor to other documents... You must read this page!! Below I've listed the many links that are within the Patient's Letter.

http://www.asappain.com/2ThePatient.html

Knowledge is power; and information is how you get it!! Start taking responsibility for your healthcare by becoming informed about both Adhesion Related Disease (ARD) and chronic pain.

The starred (**) items below are perhaps the most important articles on the list!! Print them out -- read and highlight the MOST important information -- staple them together -- and present this information to your doctor. If doctors aren't going to educate themselves, then we are going to have to try to educate them ourselves -- beginning with the reality of chronic pain and appropriate medication for chronic pain!!
