1.	I have the right to have my pain believed by health professionals, family, friends, and others around me.
	2.	I have the right to have my pain controlled, no matter what its cause or how severe it may be
	3.	I have the right to be treated with respect at all times. When I need medication for pain, I should not be treated like a drug abuser.
	4.	I have the right to have pain resulting from treatments and procedures prevented, or at least minimized.
