When I worked at a prison in McFarland, CA there were inmates getting bit by the "brown" spider. I'm sure most of you have heard of it. One guy got bit on his nose and his nose got so huge. It took months to heal. Then, another guy got bit on the leg and the bite started to just eat his skin away and it was so nasty. There were also guys who had boils on there neck and it got so big and pussy that I was sick to stomach looking at it. I've worked in medical before too and whenever and inmate comes in and complains about a medical conditioin the nurse/doctor treats them as if they are a big baby or that they just want attention and aren't in any real pain. My fiance was very sick a few weeks ago and we thought he had apendicitis, but he refused to go to the doctor, because he's had surgery before when he was locked up years ago and it was a really bad experience. The doctor was eating a donut while doing surgery and there was dust all over the operating room. Luckily, he got better and the swelling went down. This is an outrage and should not be tolerated. I don't care what crime the inmate committed, they are still human and still need some dignity.
