Road Trip

4/16/2018

 
Shortly after this morning's breakfast meal, I was informed that I was scheduled for a medical trip...
​Never does an inmate get advanced notice that he’ll be going out on a trip. This is for security reasons, obviously. So off I went to the loading area where I was searched, handcuffed and shackled in leg-irons. I was then placed in a van where, along with three correction officers, off we
went. Within a short time, we were headed northbound on the New York State Thruway. Destination, Coxsackie Correctional Facility, which has a large Regional Medical Unit on its grounds.

The Regional Medical Unit (known simply as an “RMU”) services the many prisons in my area and in neighboring counties with a degree of health care that the average prison doesn’t have.

Today I was summoned by a cardiologist who was doing a routine follow-up after my heart attack and bypass surgery back in December. I was given an EKG exam, then an Ultrasound exam, each by a different specialist. And I will now have to await the results.

When I was finished with the exams and the doctor’s interview, it was back in the van for the long ride back to Shawangunk. We left around 8 A.M. and returned at two o’clock, driving through torrential rain storms. Such trips are exhausting. I was glad to be back in my cell.
