Prisons are dangerous places.
Sometimes inmates and staff are stabbed by other inmates.
After a particularly brutal round of gang fights and stabbings, the ER doctor called me.
He began by berating me and the fact 8 inmates had been stabbed in two weeks at the prison.
He said he was writing a report to the Secretary Department of Corrections about it.
I advised the doctor that we report via telephone and in writing each stabbing as well as other assaults within 24 hrs.
I then asked him if he knew that the major cause of death in the US was from medical malpractice? He got very quiet. I then advised him that none of my inmates died. I asked him how many of his patients died.
He hung up. I never heard from him again.
The Secretary called me the next day telling me that the doctor had called him.
The Secretary had a lot to say to that doctor about not practicing law enforcement and we would not practice medicine.
