They threw me in a four man cell which any idiot knows you cant use oxygen around smoking. Getting my medication was ridiculous. I went 7 days without my blood pressure pills, and they had them right out front in the office, but wouldnt give them to me. I had a witness to all this. My wife went over to Dr Rodgers and told him what was going on, and they started giving me my blood pressure pills, but I was about dead when they did. On the rest of my medication, I would get part of them sometime. They were all the time getting them mixed up.
