For years now, over 16 yrs, I have had to fight with Dr.s, Change Drs., Fight with Social Security, Worry about being able to keep my Blood Pressure under control, all because of Chronic Pain. I have Cluster Migraines, Degenrative Disc Disease,and a Fused Neck. Recently I found out I also have a tumor in my head. I don't tell anyone this for sympathy, but so you understand I know chronic pain and all it entails.
The DEA as gone out of control in the way it is going after those Drs. treat people like me. They have been acting like Terrorists, scaring other Drs. away from helping people like me.
Ronald McIver is a prisoner in a medium-security federal compound in Butner, N.C. He is 63 years old, of medium height and overweight, with a white Santa Claus beard, white hair and a calm, direct and intelligent manner. He is serving 30 years for drug trafficking, and so will likely live there the rest of his life. McIver (pronounced mi-KEE-ver) has not been convicted of drug trafficking in the classic sense. He is a doctor who for years treated patients suffering from chronic pain.
