Prisoners

Today I had to go to the local gaol to assess the prisoners who had been there for 24hrs to make sure they were fit to be in police custody......now that was interesting. 

Many Aboriginals have Diabetes one had a raised sugar who hadn't been diagnosed. I checked with the doc when I got back to work and said I told them they should call into the clinic when they can, so the doc was happy with that. I rang the police station just to relay this they said not to worry as they were being sent away for a long time and would be checked by a doctor when they arrived in prison!!!!! 

I was alone in a very small room with these people thinking it was just minor offenses. Sure the officer stuck his head in every now and again, but really they did seem harmless but obviously not!!!!!!!!

They were very pleasant to me though. So that was my 3rd day on the job.
