From the Sunday Times Bestselling author Dr Amanda Brown Revisit the wold of The Prison Doctor, as she describes stories of her time spent with foreign national prisoners. In true Prison Doctor style Dr Amanda Brown tells heartbreaking stories with warmth and compassion of her time spent working with prisoners whose fate of deportation hangs in the balance. Including moving and memorable stories, such as a Nigerian man who's dying of cancer and wants to do so with his family around him rather than be deported back to his country where he will die alone, and a Ghanian who is terrified to return home as he knows certain death awaits him there because he's gay, Dr Amanda describes how in the end she can only do what she does best. And that's take care of her patients while they're in prison. Gold title * Hot off the heels of the success of The Prison Doctor series, comes Amanda Brown's third book of a doctor behind bars. * Amanda is a GP at the largest women-only prison in Europe, Bronzefield * She has a reputation amongst her patients as "the doctor who actually listens", and although she makes a point of never asking what they've been imprisoned for, her wonderful kindness means the women want to confide in her and she gets to hear about their former lives as she begins to treat them. As a result, she has many eye-opening stories about her patients, the relationships she forms and the truly harrowing realities of life on the inside. * Amanda was a regular NHS GP but she gave up her practice because she disliked the way the job's focus had shifted.
The pressure to tick boxes and meet quotas seemed to have replaced the desire to help patients, which had drawn her into medicine in the first place. She's in a strong position to add her voice to the ongoing topical NHS debate. * Most of the bestselling medical memoirs have been told from a man's perspective and fewer still have offered an unparalleled insight into life behind bars and the myriad economic and social factors that lead women there.
