Thanks for the information (and URL) to the story by CBS on chronic
pain. I just wanted to let you know that we will pass along your
suggestions of a follow up story to our PR firm for further
consideration.
The story by CBS angled more towards medication, not disability. And,
while they did mention a short list of painful conditions, they could
not focus on every aspect of dealing with chronic pain in their alloted
time frame.
