This is just an example...

Kidney stones.  Something my husband has to deal with occasionally when he gets stressed, and they are very painful, as some of you may know.  He has been passing a few stones this week, and at the worst yesterday, he was laid up in his room and couldn't get up because of the pain.  He screamed for help for 45 minutes, had to crawl across the floor to the door, stick his head out and scream down the hallway for help so he could piss.  They got him up off the floor, took another 45 minutes to get him a muscle relaxer (no pain meds) so he could actually piss, and then it took them another 45 minutes to bring him a urinal so he could piss, because he couldn't get to the bathroom under his own power.  Meanwhile, he was reduced to tears, and almost pissed himself.  This is the kind of frequent neglect these men have to face because of who they are and how the people who are supposed to care for them feel about them.  They do a half-assed job because they take care of sex offenders.
