Brickbat: Footloose

James Neisler says that
officials at the Arapahoe County, Colorado, jail knew he had
diabetes. When his feet swelled and his toes
began to blister, he told them he needed medical attention. But
he was just told to be patient. He continued to ask for help for
several days but was denied. Only after other inmates began to
complain about the smell did jailers take him to the hospital. By
then his right foot was gangrenous, and doctors had to remove all
five toes. He is now suing the jail and the company it hires to
provide medical car.
