I didn't have a problem with the article, it was kind of bias, but intresting all the same.

Hi - I'm not sure in which way you thought the article was biased. I see it as biased toward chronic pain patients & toward the OPs & IOPs, a point of view (thankfully) totally opposite from the other "OPs are dangerous, evil, & promote drug addiction" articles recently circulating. Basically I see it as "our" side of the story.

To answer a question from another poster about what I thought of the article, I have to admit that I cannot view it neutrally...the author is a good friend of mine & I'm thrilled for him. Although I always cringe a bit when I see the names of our OPs/IOPs in print, I agree with Legitimate that a google search will result in the same information. Also, the subscribers and readers of the Village Voice tend to be alot more liberal, accepting, & free-thinking than readers of other papers...the Voice is a NYC-based alternative weekly, not a mainstream newspaper. If you get the chance, try to obtain a print copy of the Village Voice - after reading the other articles & advertisements you'll understand why I'm not worried about any negative consequences for our OPs as a result of the article.

Take Care
