⚠️ TW: self harm, mental health, homophobia, brief mentions of war ⚠️ This book is so eye opening to a side of heathcare that I knew nothing about and I found it really interesting. This book follows Dr Amanda Brown as she works in Foreign National Prison and all the people she comes into contact with. Yet again Dr Brown gave us an incredibly interesting, emotional and heartbreaking read that I couldn't put down. And it included tales of certain prisoners that truly hit my heart and will stay with me. However I felt this one was a but disjointed because rather than focusing on one part of her career like her previous books, this one switched between her time in the Foreign National Prison and her time as an out of hours doctor and unfortunately this did impact of the flow while reading which is why I dropped it down a star. Overall, I really loved reading this book and highly recommend it.

Another fascinating book from Dr brown. With each story she shares my heart breaks. For these people just trying to survive. That's all any of us are doing not really living just surviving. The final account hit me on a personal level. I'm glad that shared story ended the way it did. While heart breaking it was a fitting way to finish the book.
I hope that Dr brown may share more from her time as a doctor at some point.
