About this listen

Horrifying, heartbreaking and eye-opening, these are the stories, the patients and the cases that have characterised a career spent behind bars.

The no-holds-barred memoirs of a GP who went from working at a quiet suburban practice to treating the country’s most dangerous criminals - first in young offenders’ institutions, then at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs and finally at Europe’s largest women-only prison in Europe, Bronzefield.

Well written and read. A real eye opener. An inspirational account of what the GP Dr Brown did after leaving her own practice behind. This book will challenge all its listeners/readers not to be moved by the real life tragedy of so many of the UK’s men, women and child who end up behind bars.
Yes Dr Brown, your account of your job does make your listeners/readers look at our own lives more closely and hopefully appreciate how fortunate many of us are. Thank you for this valuable insight which other wise I’d not have known anything about. Everyone should have the chance to listen to it read this book.

Just finished ‘This Will Hurt’ then listened to this.
