I have been here since Feb 06th, exactly 15 days ago was my self surrender. When I came in, I let them know about my 2 MAIN medical issues. I had bariatric surgery 14 years ago and need to eat like 6x per day and it needs to be nutritious or I don't get enough calories. I am anemic due to the surgery and I cannot absorb iron thru eating or over the counter pills. I have yet to meet with a nutritionist yet and my 2 meals a day (which I do supplement with commissary) is not giving me enough to eat. I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
I did meet with a Physician's Assistant who doesn't understand bariatric anemia and would barely order an iron blood work test for me until I almost demanded it. I need an iron infusion demit but their solution at FMC Medical Center fraud Carswell was to hand me a bottle of iron pills!!!!! REALLY? I don't want to goddamn die in here cause they are so friggin stupid.
Add to that the blood pressure medicine they changed me to which increased my blood pressure instead of lowering it. I took myself off and my BP readings dropped from the 170s to the 130's. I think they are giving either the wrong medicine or expired medicine cause I have NEVER had that happen.
I hear medical horror stories all the time here.... at some point this place needs to be SHUT DOWN.
FMC Carswell is where I spent Feb 2018 - Aug 2018. I witnessed horrific disregard for the prisoners and medical negligence. This blog is about those experiences and what came after. The struggles of having the "felon" label in America.
