+ | ====== What is a PAIN WARRIOR? ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Pain Warrior is someone | ||
+ | |||
+ | Those of us who wake up each day and go to sleep in pain, are like an elite group of Navy Seals; | ||
+ | |||
+ | Other than a few loved ones beside us, no one really knows what we go through and no one really cares... least of all society at large. We are invisible ...we are shunned... we are misunderstood. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Making this film is the FIRST STEP in ADVOCATING FOR OUR DEMOGRAPHIC in a highly VISIBLE and AUDIBLE way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our new feature film that will expose the underbelly of the BEAST OF PAIN . | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are PAIN WARRIORS. | ||

+ | ====== Testimonials ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These testimonials are from the few people that took me up on the offer to watch the new documentary //Pain Warriors//, of which Karen' | ||

+ | |||
+ | The idea that it is 100M Americans living with chronic pain is mind-boggling. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I must admit, I cried numerous times during this video. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course, all the stories are sad and tragic and American life and the medical community has let so many down.... is there a point of return? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thank you for sharing this early with me. I hope of people see it after the festival seasons and awareness is raised. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | I just watched the documentary. It’s powerful, and brought me to tears several times, not only you telling of Karen’s suicide but the boy and his sister, Hunter and Willow. It’s humbling, what people get through, or don’t get through. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As an asthmatic, I have had a lifetime of a repetitive -- but far from continuous, and not always particularly painful – condition. I do know how even the sheer persistence of the condition can wear you down; not just the condition but the persistence of the condition, making normal life difficult or impossible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | People who haven’t experienced it, themselves or second-hand, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thanks for letting me see it.</ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | I just watched the entire film and found it very moving, very effective, and well-done as far as my knowledge of films go. It was so engrossing, at times brought tears and I think really educated the average person like me who, had I not known your story earlier, would not have been anywhere near understanding this problem. | ||

+ | ====== After Filming ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Long after filming was completed Dr Mark Ibsen wrote the following. | ||
+ | I have slightly edited it to keep it Family Friendly, at least as far as the discussions of violent suicides can go. :-( | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | “I used to think this was evidence of a personality disorder, and that the way to handle patients who were ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then Bob Mason shot himself. | ||
+ | John Burke drank himself to death. | ||
+ | So did Jennifer Beausoleil. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lynette Chadwick died. I had heard it was an opiate OD, just recently her son came to tell me it was an Amitriptyline overdose. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then jennifer Adams shot herself, right after Dr Tennant was taken out. | ||
+ | And then Chris Storseth blew his brains out after I retired from prescribing, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lynnette, Chris and Jennifer B were three of the nine patients the Board of Medicine accused me of overprescribing to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All 6 died from UNDER prescribing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Could there be any MORE evidence of the folly of these crazy policies? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Did they die in vain? | ||
+ | Alone, in agony, isolated and miserable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hippocrates says this is nuts- to start people on procedures, then palliative care for years, then abandon them and millions of other refugees, for what? | ||
+ | (There is ZERO evidence that these policies have prevented any harm, and I just gave you the evidence of the harm they caused) | ||
+ | Talk about your “Quid Pro Quos”. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What a weird world we find ourselves in. | ||
+ | Especially those of us healers who have helped hundreds of thousands of patients live better more productive lives. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do No Harm” | ||
