   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-1515
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - social security. Decision to deny disability insurance 
   benefits is affirmed, as ALJ's finding that claimant retained the 
   residual functional capacity to return to her past relevant work 
   as a duty nurse was supported by substantial evidence. ALJ 
   properly discounted treating physician's statement and properly 
   discredited subjective complaints of pain.
