SOUNDS PRETTY CRUEL AND UNUSUAL TO ME...

Here's an update on Tommy's hospital stay...

Wednesday night the fingers on his left hand curled into a ball, his arm curled up, and the entire left side of his body went numb. He lost peripheral vision, was very dizzy, and had an excrutiating headache. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Center where they waited 2 whole days to do an MRI... A TIA stroke usually does not show up in an MRI, especially after such a prolonged period of time because it does not have any lasting effects. He still has an unusual headache and pressure at the base of his neck, is dizzy, and he feels that something is very wrong.

Anyhow they don't want him at the hospital so they're downplaying the situation and will only reply with vague answers as to what his results are. For example "Well he has a blockage in his coratid artery..." OH OKAY AND..... Apparently he is property of the Bureau of Prisons, even though he is not CONVICTED OF ANY CRIME, so HE and his FAMILY are not entitled to know about his medical health in detail. WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST? Who knows because we do not know excatly what his medical situation is. What I do know is that Thomas Gioeli is a diabetic (who is now requiring regular insulin), he has 5 stents in his heart, he has heart disease, he has a blockage in one of his main arteries, etc. and he just had what appears to be a "warning stroke." OH AND MDC IS NOT EVEN CAPABLE OF PUTTING TEETH IN HIS MOUTH AFTER HIS OWN LAWYER HAND-DELIVERED HIS DENTAL BRIDGE TO THE FACILITY (SINCE SEPTEMBER)... I'M SURE THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE ALL THE PROPER STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THOMAS GIOELI CAN PREVENT A STROKE... BY FEEDING HIM A BURGER, FRIES, AND RICE AND DENYING HIM A PROPER DIABETIC DIET, BY DENYING THAT HE NEEDS DAILY GLUCOSE TESTING, BY GIVING HIM HIS PILLS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN NOT GIVING HIM HIS PILLS, AND THEN GIVING THEM, AND THEN NOT, AND CONTINUING THE PATTERN FOR THE 19 MONTHS THAT HE'S BEEN IN PRISON.


So what they just send him back to MDC so they can continue to deny him adequate diabetic care, ALL medication on a regular basis, regular doctor visits, TEETH in his mouth (because they STILL have not put his bridge in his mouth), etc., etc. Are we all going to be surprised when this warning stroke leads to the real thing?!

His sugar has been jumping from as low as 63 to as high as 185. In the hospital his blood glucose is tested every 4 hours so that his diabetes can be adequately managed. He receives different doses of insulin according to how high his sugar is, and is given proper care when his sugar is too low. HELLO METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER MEDICAL STAFF, THE GOVERNMENT, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO FEEL A DIABETIC CAN BE TESTED ONCE A MONTH... WAKE UP! THIS IS AMERICA, HALF OF US ARE OBESE, AS A RESULT, MILLIONS OF US ARE DIABETIC. THERE'S A COMMERCIAL FOR DIABETES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR DAILY ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE TV!!!!!!!!!

DOES HE HAVE TO DROP DEAD TO CONVINCE THE GOVERNMENT THAT METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER IS NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE? HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT STAND PROUDLY IN COURT, REPRESENTING "ALL THAT IS AMERICAN" AND DENY AN AMERICAN MAN ADEQUATE HEALTHCARE? I AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY, THAT'S FOR THE TRIAL. I'M HERE TO FIGHT FOR THOMAS GIOELI'S LIFE AND FOR HIS RIGHT TO FIGHT THIS CASE IN GOOD HEALTH. HOW IS IT A FAIR TRIAL WHEN THOMAS GIOELI CANNOT EVEN FOCUS ON HIS CASE BECAUSE HE'S TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT AND FIGHTING FOR ADEQUATE HEALTCARE? ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS A FAIR TRIAL. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT VS. A MAN WHO CAN BARELY THINK BECAUSE HIS BLOOD SUGAR IS JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE, HE'S IN PAIN, HIS BODY IS GOING INTO SHOCK BECAUSE HIS MEDICATION IS BEING GIVEN, AND TAKEN AWAY ON A REGULAR BASIS, ETC. FAIR TRIAL? YEAH MAYBE IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SAYS ALL ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR TRIAL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS FIGHTING TO PROVE HIM GUILTY AND THAT IS FINE, THAT IS THEIR JOB! BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ARGUING IN COURT TO DENY HIM ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE IS UNACCPTABLE, UNBELIEVABLE, DISGUSTING, AND EXTREMELY ANTI-AMERICAN. THE GOVERNMENT IS FAILING THOMAS GIOELI.

AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEADER AND ROLE MODEL OF THE WORLD; IS THIS REALLY HOW WE TREAT OUR OWN? WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HUMANITY?

I DON'T KNOW MAYBE I'M LIVING IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.


ALWAYS STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY.
GOD BLESS.
