A Physician's Journey through
the Opioid Epidemic.

"A must-read for anyone affected by the opioid epidemic. I was both shocked by Dr. Joshi's personal experience and impressed by the wisdom gleaned from it. I highly recommend this book for policymakers and patients alike!"

Chief Medical Officer of WebMD

"Dr. Joshi has penned a gripping narrative about the hidden realities of modern medical practice. Through humbling anecdotes and what he learned from their aftermath, Dr. Joshi demonstrates the power of dedication to bettering the lives of patients. At the intersection of pain management and mental health practice, this book vividly shows how law enforcement intrusions into medical practice are devoid of context and compassion and ultimately harm patients and communities."

"Dr. Joshi shares his story of prescribing narcotics in an effort to help patients within America's muddled approach to the prescription drug epidemic. His experience reflects the darkest fears of any physician prescribing narcotics for patients describing uncontrolled pain. The book includes Dr. Joshi's own reflections about the prescription drug crisis and provides a more nuanced approach to how we might think about patients with pain and the physicians who treat them."
