undefinedundefined :rotfl: we get this guy in to the county lock up. he's only doing 29 days. he has brought the meds he takes, 16 in all. rangeing from ms contin to muscle relaxers to antiseizure to emu cream and emu patches, his laxatives which include suppositories. he looks 70 but is only 49. he has had a failed nissan fundoplication which led to esophageal hernia which needed repair, a failed lumbar fusion which led to chronic pain also the graft site failed too. all according to him. ever since he was booked in he has faked constipation, insanity, delerium, ive fallen and i can't get up, a heart attack, a stroke, he has 2 days left and today he pooped on the floor in his cell, said it was an accident. each time he pulled one of these stunts, he had all the officers completely freaking. i would not allow the officers to help him. i walked over to his cell during the "ive fallen scam" and gave him a lecture through the hatch door. he gives it up, gets up and goes back to his bunk to ponder his next scam. i cannot wait till this guy is gone, he has been one nightmare after another. he was possibly the first one to make me madder than a hornet and be completely entertained at the same time :rotfl:

Obviously, faking is a huge problem. But, in California, there's been a lot of scandals involving inmates who actually died because nurses, doctors, etc. thought they were faking and didn't treat them.

So how do you tell the real medical cases from the fakers? How do you avoid mistakes?

WOW. THERE MUST BE MORE DETAILS TO THAT STORY THAT WERE NOT REPORTED. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW SOMEONE IS DYING?

A lot of it was pure negligence. This is why a federal judge ... instead of the Dept. of Corrections ... is now running healthcare in California state prisons.

Thank you for sharing this info. Had heard things were bad in the Ca. prison sys., but never could have imagined it was this bad. Have worked correctional nursing in 3 different states and never was the care given that poor. Can't imagine they have a lot of applicants for the nursing positions if it puts your license in danger all the time.
