The fungal meningitis outbreak is having an impact at interventional pain management clinics across the country, including Compassionate Pain Management in Dover, Del., according to WBOC 16. Patients are being scared away from having their steroid injections administered, thanks to tainted injections from a New England compounding company linked to the meningitis outbreak.
