Fear of dying in pain is a phantom which haunts millions of North Americans. This fear has been exploited by people promoting the alleged “right to die”. Sadly, while medicine has reached the point where no one should ever die in uncontrolled pain, the public at large are often unaware of the tremendous advances in pain control technology. Pain control specialist Dr. Eric Chevlen and Consumer advocacy lawyer and anti-euthanasia activist Wesley Smith have teamed up to produce an important new book Power over pain: How to get the pain control you need.
