Eric Martin
After three decades as a successful ear surgeon, William Wright, MD is bored beyond belief. He dabbles with retirement, but finds idleness infuriating. He has to do something. Then he sees an ad for a doctor’s position from the Colorado Department of Corrections at a supermax prison. Now that, he thinks, would be different. His wife has some thoughts on the matter too. She thinks her husband just lost his mind and is on a collision course with a prison shiv.
After his first day on the job, he wonders if she wasn’t onto something. His first patient is an arrogant, callous youth convicted of five cold-blooded murders. Dr. Wright has to steel himself not to bolt.
Nothing prepares a doctor for life at the Colorado State Penitentiary. He quickly discovers treating maximum security convicts is like treating recalcitrant murderous four-year-olds. Always willing to threaten their doctors with bodily harm, they are more interested in scamming drugs than treatment.
Told with self-depreciating humor and scathing wit, Maximum Insecurity describes Dr. Wright’s adventures practicing medicine in a supermax correctional facility without, he’s glad to say, getting killed even once.

Eric Martin’s narration is absolutely perfect. It feels like Dr. Wright is in the room with you telling his stories, and he makes all the different inmates come to life. He truly has a talent for narration! I can’t even imagine myself ever reading a physical copy of this book because his performance is altogether outstanding.
There are few chapters in this book that make me laugh out loud every single time, and I often return to this title when I am between audiobooks. I highly recommend Maximum Insecurity! If the summary of this book has peaked your interest you should definitely pick it up!
6 Stars if I could!!

The author seemed at times to be burned out, bitter, and callous. At other times, he seemed to have a dry sense of humor and a compassionate heart.
There is a compelling story here, but it is often marred by jarring judgements about offenders, administrators, and institutions.
I stopped this book about 2 hours in and debated about returning it for a few days. It finally hooked me once I decided to view the authors seeming rough handling of some topics as attempts at dry humor.
Cynical and Dry

the author did a great job telling about his change in careers without bragging - he tells what it like to work for a government agency, without being unduly criticalgreat book

Please write more of your precious work, Dr. Wright. And may I suggest the fine narrator you already have when you get to that point. Your fans are waiting patiently for your next surprise.
Author and narrator were a perfect combination
