Oklahoma County Jail

Medications are determined for prioners at time of booking in and or upon receiving their medical requests on medical cop-out slips. Prisoners identified having heart problems, seizures or other serious medical problems requiring immediate attention are generally given enough medications until they are seen by the jail doctor .. that is how it is suppose to work.. but as with about any jail .. people will occasionally screw up big time, resulting to emergency treatment and even wrongful death incidents.

It is true that information is taken at the time of booking but that does not meen that it is follow through on after the person is behind those bars. I am a diabetic and went without my insulin for three days. My family got me out and I spent days in the hospital to get my sugar back under control.

You should consider contacting a civil attorney to sue for your medical bills!
