It amazes me that with a War on Terror proclaimed these agents have nothing better to do than terrorize doctors just because they disagree with how much their patient's pain should be alleviated. It's witch-trial insanity. You can, however, bet the agents and prosecutors will demand effective pain control when their time comes! Dave Michon Eau Claire, Wis - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
