We are very excited to announce that Melody Gilbert's documetary, "A Life Without Pain" will be featured on the
Sundance Channel starting in February of 2006. For more information on "A Life Without Pain" or to buy your
own copy go to the A Life Without Pain homepage. You can also check out
our documentary page for more information.
Tonight, October 10th, 2006, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain was featured on the hit television show "Grey's Anatomy".
In the show, a young girl named Megan claimed she had "super-powers" since she could feel no pain. After some testing the
doctors determined that she was suffering from Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. We thought it was kind of neat that it
got a mention on the show.
