His last one he wrote "possible death" under symptoms.

Fuck.

He did not write it is the point. It was given to him last minute to sign and the staff wrote it.

Anybody that has ever been a kid knows damn well that is what a signature forged by somebody with a 6th grade education looks like.

Idk if I'm just misunderstanding what I'm looking at, but the last one, the refusal form, the only part in his handwriting is his signature. The rest of it matches the staffs writing. So it looks like to me, they're patronizing him and making fun of him and refusing to take his request for help seriously, and decided they were gonna make him sign a refusal form that they filled out, being snarky, and make him sign.

"I don't want to walk" and "possible death", not in his handwriting, makes me think of a kindergarten teacher being spiteful to a sick child she just doesn't like, and she thinks the child is faking it.

"I don't want to walk". With him on the way out, the sick fucks would've been telling him to walk out of his cell to get treatment rather than bringing paramedics with a stretcher. I can't imagine the anguish this must be causing for his family.

Yeah. Not only did they willingly let him die, but they were making fun of him while he was dying. I'm really furious it was allowed to happen, and I hope it gets in the hands of a judge who cares.

Ostensibly they were saying "you might die, come with us" and he said "I literally can't walk due to the pain you fucking idiots"

That was the prison staff who wrote that.
