Grievance Form
Unit/Center Cummins

Name (Please Print) John Caldwell ADC# 90188
Barracks 14, 414 Job Assignment FU#8

Have you discussed this problem with your immediate supervisor? Yes No x

NATURE OR DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: Years ago my ankle tendon was cut in half; I am having a lot of problems with it. I saw so-called "Dr." Reed today after he repeatedly mixed my medical jacket and another inmates, the point is he absolutely refused any form of treatment.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO SOLVE IT? To see a different doctor with enough sense not to examine someone else thinking it's me, and know the difference. This is a serious medical problem "walking." Fix your end or hire a lawyer.

IS THIS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION? YES x No
If so, why? (Provide Explanation) There is a deliberate indifference being shown toward my health in order to trim expenses and benefit the state work program.
