Dr Amanda Brown has treated inmates in the UK’s most infamous prisons – first in young offenders’ institutions then at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs and finally at. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review I’ve never really thought about healthcare in prisons For someone like myself with a pretty privileged background I’ve never really needed to think about it The Prison Doctor has opened my eyes to some of the tasks medical professionals undertake in such an environment and some of the struggles they encounter in order to try and help their patientsOne of the main feelings I got while reading this was the large amount of compassion Dr Amanda Brown has for her patients and the sometimes truly awful situations that have led to them being in prison We follow Brown as she leaves her job as a community GP to working in a young offender’s institute then a men’s prison and finally a women’s prison Every job is varied fast paced and harrowing but it’s her time within the women’s prison that stands out the most These women she treats are often so institutionalised that they feel safer within the prison walls constantly reoffending to remain inside because it’s better than a life spent on the streets wrapped up in prostitution or domestic abuse There’s one particular woman who’s so ashamed of an ulcer on her leg because of the smell that she wraps it in sanitary towels rather than go to the doctor for help She’s become so use to thinking that she’s worthless that she doesn’t see herself as worthy of help That made me so sad to think that really a lot of these women just need someone to talk to And that’s what Dr Brown does She listens never judges as her eyes are opened to this new world The writing is good too It’s a uick read structured and emotional without getting too bogged down in facts or opinions Dr Brown lets the stories and the people speak for themselves and I think it’s this simplicity that makes it work so well It’s certainly brought to my attention a forgotten route in healthcare and might make me think twice about all those missed appointments we get at work from prisoners who fail to turn up for their MRI scans in the future The level of responsibility is seriously high too often Dr Brown has to fight to get her patients admitted to hospital when the prison guards are severely understaffed or is often the first on scene to a suicide attempt up to her elbows in blood It’s high risk high adrenaline stuff Fascinating read that’s made me think above and beyond my own career
