Scarred by Unprofessionalism and Medical Indifference

On May 5, 2023 I was transported to my biopsy appointment to ensure there is no cancer on my body. The urologist took 5 samples to have tested.After the procedure was over, I woke from the anesthesia. I was in no pain, so I requested they remove the catheter that’s been inserted in my bladder since March the 3rd, 2023. Once it was removed, I was elated because I missed my daily exercises. Once we returned to the prison [and] I was taken back to my unit at wcu Westville.
While sitting in the cell happy to be urinating normally again.Two officers came to the door of the cell saying the unit sgt.wanted to see me.Once thereni would learn that the director of nursing ordered me sent to the prison infirmary for observation. Because, the unit I lived in had no nurses on call.In case of some complications with my prostate they wanted me close by.
Saturday evening I began to eat a little food. This food went to my gut and I needed to number 2 right away. I released buckets of body waste at least 15 times in one hour. All of this mess coming out of me swelled my prostate up again.It shut down my bladder completely.Causing me to be rushed to an outside hospital and taken to the emergency room.I was in severe stomach pain for like 6 hours.When i hit the emergency room,i still had to wait on my doctor who came in at 8:00a.m.
He put me under and inserted a catheter back into my body to my dismay. When I woke up, my pain was gone. The doctor was gone.
I had to remain in the hospital for like two days for observation. The nurses who helped my urologist during my procedure.Advised me that the doctor said when he conducted the cystectomy with camera to see what he was doing while trying to reinsert the catheter. He noticed that someone who tried to insert a catheter inside of my penis created an entirely new track. That went off into my bladder, possibly damaging my urethra completely.On March 3, 2023 an emergency nurse (I don’t know by name as of yet). Tried unsuccessfully to insert 3 different catheters in my penis without any lubricant was the nurse who handled me so recklessly. She is responsible for that new track cut into my penis.
I have requested these doctors to remove this catheter, to only run into complications a few days later, saying my bladder is severely damaged by all these people trying to force this thing in my body.
Equally impacting my prostate and when it swells up, it shuts down my bladder.
This coming week I should be getting the lab results from my prostate. Hoping its negative for cancer praise be to Allah. The nurses here at Westville talked to about the realization that I might have to endure a prostate removal procedure very soon. If I want to live a normal life and urinate normally. The prostate may have to go.
I will keep everyone posted. P!ease keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love and respect you all. We have been like family. All power to the people who don’t fear freedom. Have a blessed day may Allah bless and keep all of you in his grace.
Your comrade,
