As President I shall order the Attorney-General to leave no stone unturned in gathering proof that the "doctors" who talk about Pain Management are in fact moles for the Christian Scientists.
Yes, there seems to be a lot of folks who think that you are weak if you can't take the pain that "God has sent you". And then there are the ones who think opiates will cause addiction if you take them for a couple of days. A friend had surgery to remove cancer and was given no pain killers coming out of recovery; when she asked for pain killer, he sent the nurse in with lavender oil for aromatherapy, figuring a person's mind can control the pain of a new incision and having your guts rearranged. Because opiates are baaaadddddd..
Oh, and let's not forget the folks that say those of us with chronic pain are just lazy and using it as an excuse to not work.

To be fair, I think it has as much to do with the Calvinist strain in American Protestantism which somehow thinks that suffering is virtuous.
