    Default Medical Issue for Inmate in California

    What can a concerned girlfriend do for a California inmate with medical issues. They are having to stand outside after putting in a sick call slip to see the Dr for over 4 hrs. This person has a piece of steel in his leg from knee to ankle along with other issued. When they put in a sick call they are made to wait outside for a long period of time before being let back inside. Then when they put sick call in they say the Dr will see them later in the week. What can we do for them?

    So they have to schedule appointments with the doctor and, when they seek treatment with no appointment, they have to wait as much as four hours? That's the entire complaint?

    No that is not what I am saying. They have an appointment and when they go back to their Cell Block they have to wait outside before being let in the cell block. Also when they put in sick call they are told they will be seen that week but two weeks later nothing. Complaint is this is suppose to be a facility for inmates with Medical Problems that need to be addressed. Do we wait til they loose a limb before we can get any treatment for them?
