Jailhouse Doc by William Wright, M.D.Book Review




Jailhouse Doc: A Doctor in the County Jail by William Wright, M.D.
Colorado Springs, CO - William Wright, M.D., the award winning and bestselling author of Maximum Insecurity: A Doctor in the Supermax is back with more stories about the life of a doctor – this time inside the county jail.
Dr. William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Colorado’s maximum-security prison. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brother…
Hoards of desperate people fresh from the streets, homeless addicts, illegal aliens, and gangbangers all ruled by a corrupt sheriff and his concubine sidekick made the supermax look almost pastoral.
Told with humor and biting wit by the best-selling author of Maximum Insecurity,Jailhouse Doc follows Dr. Wright and his struggles with scamming inmates, corporate bureaucrats, and a sheriff who wants to be a doctor.
Peek behind the bars at the operations of a city jail and the daily battles to deliver medical care to a population on the edge.

My review;

I just finished reading, Jailhouse Doc and I found it very interesting.  Dr. Wright is very candid in his telling of what really happens in a jail. I read some things that I was not aware of. This is the kind of book that people should read before they do something that will put them in a jail. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review from Bostick and the author and all opinions are my own.
