The women here are experiencing severe constipation, bloating, and nausea. The nurses have said the majority of HNR’s are about these problems. I’m not talking a brief bout with constipation, but months of agony and pain in the lower intestines.
Today a young lady went out on 911 because she was throwing up blood and bile, and had repeatedly begged medical for help.
As we have reported, PeaVille is grossly understaffed for Providers at all Units. Cruz begged a retired provider to return at least temporarily. Johns is on Lumley, Johnson on Carlos, Shields allegedly covering Piestawa and Rosa. Maria and Pedro are closed.
Who’s covering IPC and SNU? Who is the supervising physician for these “providers”? Without providers, there can be no referrals to Specialists, like gastrointestinal specialists.
Women have to get their families to repeatedly call and threaten with lawyers, to get their daughters an endoscopy or test to diagnose the problem. State prison medical personnel wait until a disease is life-threatening before they treat it beyond ” drink more water”.
The medical care here is horrific and with the advent of Naphcare, deadly.
What could be causing these symptoms? The prison food? The prison water? Both? Perhaps when Judge Silver’s expert decides to rid us of ALL for-profit health insurance companies, we will find the answer.
(Coincidentally, I don’t eat prison food or drink tap water, and I’m fine.)
