Dr. E E Kunzman, MD

Dr Kunzman was (I don't know if he still is) an anomaly.
He was the only and truly the best staff and the best docto...r at Century Regional Detention Facility, a Los Angeles jail, in a sea of L.A. jails that are notorious for the worst doctors (foreigners who do not care one iota about the inmates and are as ignorant as any criminal).
Dr. Kunzman was one in a trillion. He was not only skilled and excelled at his profession of psychiatry, but he was kind, caring, compassionate man.
He did whatever he possibly could, even when he was told not to, in that jail, for those women.
He was always appropriate and professional, yet learned enough to know that the level of cruelty and corruption in that jail, made it necessary to sometimes color outside the lines and go somewhat above and beyond to help the women.
Examples include, but were not limited to the following:
Years ago, there was a loophole, within the jail, that allowed general physicians to write prescribe items such as shampoo and bars of soap and skin lotion, for inmates, if they deemed it necessary for health-related reasons.
If there were ever the VERY RARE human physicians who would simply break down and actually do this, it was 1 out of 30.
But Dr. Kunzman, who was a physician, too, though not a general one, would always precribe all of those items for the women in the k-10 isolation cell blocks, where he was assigned.
Thus, the indigent women never had to go without, because he would always prescribe them Dove bar soap, Nutrogena dandruff shampoo, Eucerine (later plain brand) lotion and a few other necessities (which, in that uncompassionate place where staff were and are malignant sociopaths), at least these isolation women did not go without.
Keep in mind that he did this, despite having been told, by supervisors, throughout the years, not to do so.
This was just one of the examples of his steadfast compassion.
But then, Dr Kunzman was literally one in a trillion, so if and/or when he retires, the gig will be up.
A wonderful human. more details
