“I had 2 strokes in county jail prior to Perryville. After the 2nd stroke, I started to have seizures. I had two seizures in R and A, but I don’t think the guard recorded them because I never went to medical.
At San Carlos, I verbally told Provider Malcolm my history. She said she couldn’t access my county records, ” Therefore, you’ll have to have a seizure here before I put you on medicine or give a chrono.” That’s when she said, “You’re a junkie and drug addict, that’s where all your problems are.”.
I told her my strokes were a result of family genetics and high blood pressure. This was a weird comment she made, ” You have high cholesterol because you’re white.” Then I told her it wasn’t safe for me to work in Complex Kitchen because of my seizures, and she said, “If I had a dollar for every excuse I heard from an inmate I’d be rich. My superiors have told me no chronos for anyone in complex kitchen because you all make up excuses.”
