Prince did not die from pain pills — he died from chronic pain

The media can’t seem to get its stories about Prince right. As the news feed overflows with stories with the word “Prince” and “addiction” in them, very few of them feature the word “chronic pain.” Multiple reports mention that Prince had suffered from years with pain in his hips due to injuries racked up during his performances. His body wracked with pain, Prince relied on opiate pain medications to provide him some relief. And yet, even today, the stately New York Times features a long article about Prince seeking “help” with an “addiction.”

Prince was not addicted to pain medication. Prince had a medical condition — chronic pain — which is criminally under-treated. It is also a medical problem that is more likely to be reacted to with stigma and condescension, even challenges about the patient’s moral character, or, if male, masculinity. Pain is still the condition that we treat by telling its sufferers to just “suck it up,” or “maintain a stiff upper lip,” or to stop acting like a “wuss.” And yet, when someone dies from complications of the disease — for that is what chronic pain is — we react with shock and pity and anger that the person died from a drug overdose. Some outlets make money off our confusion about overdose and medications and our fascination with drugs.

It’s very important to keep dogs on a leash, in case they master levitation. Poor Kimber could have just floated away this afternoon.

Sundance is weird. The movies are weird – you actually have to think about them when you watch them.

ARTILLERY SHELLS, MINES, and other ordnance still litter Cambodia, years after the Vietnam War and the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Disposing of them is dangerous work, and nowhere is the task more daunting than under water.
