GG was another 41-year-old looking forward to returning to her tribe and family when she received a grim diagnosis… multiple myecloma. In the weeks leading up to this, she was treated by the No Care Naphcare staff for “gas”. It was twisted irony that 16 hours before her cancer diagnosis, they sent her back with Mylanta.
There is no cure for this type of cancer, but an earlier diagnosis could have prolonged her life. GG was contorted in pain, and had difficulty breathing before she begged for an ICS to get some sort of relief. All they gave her was Tylenol!! It was only after repeated ICS’s and outcry from the inmates, that medical finally gave her a morphine shot.
GG’s family are working frantically to get her home on a Compassionate Release.
