“I retired as a systems engineer and operations research analyst… In my so-called spare time, I support an online community called “Living with TN ” as a moderator and content author, providing literature and internet research to chronic face pain patients. I also mentor young people who are struggling with life in our times.”
Red has been invited to join the Editorial Advisory Board at the journal “Practical Pain Management” as a founding member to advocate for people in pain. In this position, Red will help to establish the editorial focus of the journal. Red’s body of work includes three previous articles at Practical Pain Management.
Red is the Director of Research for the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain (ATIP.) If you want to join Red in the fight for pain patients’ rights, ATIP is the place to start.
