Hi
Does anyone know who i can contact to get someone some medical help. He was hurt Jan. 1. they took him to the ER and the ER doctor told him to come back the othropedic doctor needed to set the bone. It still hasn't been done I called the warden and talked to the secretary she told me he had to make an appointment to see the doctor there. the doctor told him there wasn't anything he could. He's at Ventress
Thanks so much

I had a incident where my husband went through the same thing while at Limestone CF. I contacted the warden who would not return my calls. I wrote letters. I got no response until I contacted a attorney who wrote a letter. The warden did respond by calling me and getting him to the hospital for orthopedic followup. Just be persistant. The only way he will get help is if you do.

Thanks everyone. I been basically ignored since Jan 5th. I'm trying to get him a lawyer now. every lawyer here tells me to find one closer to where he is.

Try contacting the Jeff Dicks Medical Coalition, they are great advocates for prisoners in need of health care, and may be able to help.
