When you are in prison in a wheelchair, you don’t have many options.  Certainly you can’t pick your doctor or health care system.  But things got out of hand for Texas inmate Donald Eubanks.  He asked and asked for help;  filled out grievances;  was turned down and sent way repeatedly, with minimal care.  So finally he’s filed suit–because he lost his legs and a testicle, for instance, and part of a colon, etc.  Thank goodness a judge agreed to allow a jury to review the facts.  Generally, the “deliberate indifference” standard is so high that no facts can reach it.  Indeed, plenty of personnel in this story were already relieved of any liability.  But one doctor-Dr. Kokila D. Naik– will face trial over this disaster.
