Default Re: When their sick.........

Please don't let me panic or alarm you in any way,as that is NOT my intention in this reply.
But I have websites about my cellmate Gena Shoulders,who suffered imensely and died while begging for some sort of help from the lowsy infirmiry at pre-release(Lockhart Pre-release)..meaning Gena was on her way out the door when she begged for them to do more than just send her back to our cell telling her she had an earache.Bullcrap!She had a tiny tumor that could have been removed had medical done their jobs.
It's NO secret.The staff in those medical infirmary's are doctors and nurses that aren't suitable to have a practice in the freeworld due to whatever reasons (ie: malpractice,lawsuits etc..). I literally had to dress my celly,tie her shoes,and listen to her screams and cries day after day,night after night,helping her get to the toilet to vomit,cleaning up the vomit when she couldn't get to the toilet..just begging for some sort of relief from the pain in her head.
When you are housed with another inmate in a 2-man cell,you can't help but get close to them(in most cases).. Gena and I were a team,best friends as well as cellmates...and I ranted and raved on the net and to anybody that would listen for a long time after my release,looking for her family or friends in Wichita Falls so I could help them maybe get some sort of closure to her death,cuz the Warden lied to me face to face about what HER version of her death was! A lawsuit wouldn't bring Gena back,but it may have put a stop to them turning their heads on so many sick people.
I have my journal with dates to refer to,a copy of my letter complaining to the Warden for help...the date I went to the infirmary and begged for help for Gena and was told to "butt out"!! Now instead of a release date,she got the death penalty!!
Your PP or significant other may be on a better unit,I don't know.I just know what I saw on each unit "I" was sent to,and they were all the same.Gena wasn't the only death while I was in prison.EX:the lady in another dorm complained of extreme chest pains and was sent back to the dorm.She was dead through two counts(when the unit gets counted) before ANYBODY knew she was dead.
When someone gets REALLY sick..CALL THAT UNIT.Ask/demand to speak to medical.Let them know that EVERYTHING is being documented and bug the crap out of them.Call Huntsville if you are in Texas..call anybody and everybody you can call and let them KNOW that YOU know how he/she is being treated or NOT TREATED .
