Thesis Statement

 After you present your thesis statement, provide at least one paragraph explaining why your thesis statement is argumentative and how you can support your thesis statement throughout your paper. Though not all debates are so black and white as to have only two sides, you should aim to identify at least two sides of the issue at hand (both the side represented by your thesis statement, and at least one other). Then, discuss a few potential supporting points you could develop within the body of your paper and back up with information from your research. 

Thesis Statement:  The ability of clinicians to keep patients in check has proven to be a challenge, especially with concerns regarding the legitimacy and physical functions affecting overall pain management in patients with an addiction problem.
