My question involves civil rights in the State of: OHIO
An inmate was brought in the county jail on a Friday afternoon and had a family member drop off his Rx of Prilosec due to his diagnosis and treatment of GERD and acid reflux. He repeatedly asked staff to let him talk to medical and they refused each time. He put a medical request form in the mailbox immediately. Late Sunday evening he was finally seen for an initial medical screening and reiterated his pain and discomfort and asked where his Rx was and why he hadn't received treatment. He was still denied any meds for those symptoms. The jail "lost" his Rx and it wasn't until Monday, just before his release, that he was given something for those symptoms. He was in constant pain and discomfort during his time in under their care.
Do these circumstances merit a vaild claim for delay/denial of medical care, and what is his best course of action for damages?
