Question Presented (from Petition)

1. While you are incarcerated in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC), how are you supposed to notify Medical of your prior medical history/head injury?

2. When you are prescribed medication ibuprofen, how do you let medical know that the medication they prescribe you isn't helping stop the pain in your head? See Doc. #1

3. Isn't not giving an inmate an x-ray (CT-Scan/MRI) deliberate indifference?

4. How long does medical have to put off an x-ray, an x-ray that could have discovered Mr. Wright had a tumor growing on his brain? Thus, stopping it or discovering it and destroying/terminating it before it' considered deliberate indifference? See Ancata, 769 F. 2d at 704.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

When an inmate notifies medical of his prior head injury/medical history & asks them to retrieve his medical records, is that adequate to his medical situation?
