In a new blog post, Dr. Jeffrey Singer speaks on “The Chilling Effect: How Fear Drives Doctors Away from Pain Patients.” In the post, Dr. Mark Ibsen shares his struggle, stating, “Before ceasing writing prescriptions for opiates, I worried if I could trust patients to honor their promise.”

“Six of my patients died from 2016 to 2018 after I stopped prescribing opiates,” Ibsen says.

Dr. Singer highlights the broader issue: “Regulators and law enforcement drive physicians out of pain management, leaving patients nowhere to turn.” For questions, feel free to reach out to us, and be sure to check out Dr. Singer’s upcoming book, *Your Body, Your Health Care*, released April 8.
