Our guest for today is Dr. Karen Gedney MD. Karen is an internal medicine specialist who spent thirty years behind bars as a prison physician. She was designated as one of the best in the business by the American Correctional Association and won a ‘Heroes for Humanity Award’ for her work in HIV in the correctional system. She retired from the prison in 2016 and now uses her time to share her experiences as an author, medical expert witness, speaker and mentor to push for holistic prison reform. She currently is the medical director for the Ridge House in Reno, Nevada which offers transitional housing and wrap around medical and psychological services for individuals involved in the criminal justice system.
You can find Dr. Gedney at DiscoverDrG.com
Her book titled '30 years behind bars; trials of a prison doctor' can be bought on Amazon.com
The key takeaways from the discussion in this episode are as follows:
1. Proximity – the closer we are to the problem, the better we will be able to understand the root cause making it easier for us to design an appropriate solution
2. Collaboration – without which Karen had to suffer many years of loneliness in her profession and when she started collaborating she said wonderful things started to happen. This could be a life lesson we can carry forward into both our personal and professional lives
I will bring you the next episode of Sharing Life Lessons next Wednesday. Until then, 'Be happy, be safe and be well'.
