I have a deployed husband, sitting in the Nyborg prison, and is serving my long-term judgment.

– I have full understanding that I will serve my punishment, but it is not working, you treat the inmates like animals.

– When it comes to disease and health, taking the prison’s not serious. One should almost come with her head under her arm , before they react.

And if you write a anmodningsseddel to the infirmary, there may be several days before you come over.

so begins R, sitting in the Nyborg state prison, a letter to the nation!, which he has written together with his wife. R and his wife would seem there must be a focus on how difficult it is to convince the prison staff that you are sick. And they think the whole Denmark must have to know how he even had to wait more than a day, when he had appendicitis. His letter – which Nyborg state prison comments below – continues thus:

– I had f.ex. sharp pain in stomach region, and asked to be attended to.

the Nurse at the health department considered, however, that there was nothing wrong with my blindtarm, and I was therefore locked in at 19.30.

– It did still hurt very much, and at 01: 00 I had to call the guard on the pga the now fierce and sharp pain.

the Policeman who came said: ’If you want to have the doctor on call so you must lie in the observation cell for 4-6 hours’, then ’just put you to sleep’.

– So, I was from kl. 01.30 to 05.30 before the doctor in attendance came and he was in no doubt: ’He must be now’.

– Anyway went there another 2 hours, so I was first hospitalized at 07.00 pga. of possible skipped blindtarm, and I had surgery the following afternoon.

-I was not so comfortable with the situation, and the prison chose not to inform my wife. It is otherwise their duty.

– I’m not the only one, there are many inmates who experience the kinds of serious diseases.

And even if I after the operation has had it really bad and had a high infektionstal, so will the doctor here does not admit me.

-I’ll just be a pain reliever, writes R, but the response the Nyborg state prison has sent to the nation! from both enhedschef and the nurse, keeps you stuck in that R have been given and get proper treatment:

On the basis of statements from the involved staff, it is not that the procedure in the Nyborg prison have not been complied with:

– The inmates receive measured values and there is nothing there to indicate that something must be done.

– The inmates waiting in the infirmary, on that the doctor on call arrives.

– There is no requirement that one must be observed several hours before you can be attended to by a doctor. It is the state, as well as the measured values of the inmate that determines whether to call the doctor.

– No known to the prisoners ‘ condition and on the basis of the progress on the hospital, there was no reason to contact the prisoner’s wife.

– the Wife appears, moreover, does not, as the nearest relatives of the client system.

– There are always special attention when deployed there not in the udgangsforløb to get out of the prison. There may therefore be some processing time, just as there must be a special reason before they are sent out.

– Had the doctor in attendance judged the situation to be critical, had been summoned ambulance, writes enhedschefen, and the nurse describes the process like this:

– The 11.11.19 I was, by lunchtime, phoned up by a workshop engineer employed as told, that R. had a bad feeling in the stomach. He was on the job – worked and had no other symptoms.

– I said that it should be seen a little, but that they were welcome to contact me again, if it was not better and the R desired supervision. After a few hours I was again called up by a cop, who said that the R still had a bad feeling in my stomach and I asked him to come over.

– R told us that he had had stomach ache for the last six days of time. The pain was mostly localized in the right side of the abdominal area.

– We talked about the possibility of appendicitis, why there was carried out relevant studies. There was not slipømhed in the right side of the abdominal area.

– He had no fever and his infektionstal was under 5.

– There was in fact fine bowel sounds and once in the stomach. I said to R that I realized that he had stomach ache, but that I could not carry me further at present, since the indication for a hospitalization at the time was too small. We had to see it a little in an.

– When I met the next day, lay R in caution: the cell – he had continued to hurt in the stomach.

– He had been attended to by a doctor on call in the early morning and he had decided that René should be admitted.

– R was taken to the hospital around noon. 07:30 and first in the afternoon if you choose to operate René for an appendicitis, because you know a scan has been sure of the diagnosis.

– He is not, therefore, been urgently operated on and diagnosed on the basis of a study we can not make, writes the nurse, but what do you say?
