Hi. My name is Krystal Clark. My inmate number is 435064. I know a lot of, everybody know who I am. I’m in WHV, the Valley of Death. It gives me hell. I’m just trying to survive in the Valley of Death. They are really, really killing me in here. Like this is unstoppable. I saw Dr. Ellison, the man who’s been lying about my health, saying nothing is wrong. Don Jones, Dr. Ellison, they all been lying, not truthful. Saw doctor, Robert Lacey, on the 28th. I was telling y’all he was prescribing me the medicine I had for the fungus mold for 84 days, I have to take for 84 days. And on top of that, I have to take antibiotic ear drops for 14 days, four drops, four times a day. Lord Jesus, I’ve been getting emotional. He looked, when he looked at my ears, it was totally like, I wish y’all could be a fly on the wall to see how this man looked. He knew right away something with it was wrong. And I’ve been crying for how long? Begging for help, just begging for y’all to treat it. Y’all, it’s no cure, because I’m still housed in it. But to treat it, and give me something, and not let it get this bad in my skin and in my body. They knew what they was doing.

So, now I’m getting excited, like, at least I’m getting something. I go over there, they tell me, I have to walk out here on a walker six times a day. Dr. Ellison, I said, “Who gave these orders?” Dr. Ellison turned around after the head doctor, and restrict my ear drops. Ear drops is a medication that’s KOP, KOP means they stay in your room, you take it from your unit. I said, I asked the doctor, and I looked at Dr. Ellison, and I said, “Why is you doing this, sir?” I said, “I wouldn’t even have to go to a Head Doctor if you would have been helping me. If y’all would have been helping me, I’ve been telling y’all everyday, crying for help in big, and y’all been seeing it bleeding and coming out my ears and everything else. I’ve been asking y’all for help, and y’all didn’t do anything but made it seem like I was crazy, making me feel like, taking me to psychiatrists, make it seem like I was crazy.” Then they take a Head Doctor from Lansing, to come in here to give me some medication for 84 days? Ear drops for 14 days? And now I gotta walk out here so I can be cold, out there on a walker, standing out there in the cold. I said, and I begged him, I said, “Dr. Ellison, don’t do this”. I said, “I’ve been asking you for help.”

I shouldn’t have to beg no doctor! He took a oath to do right. He should have did right by me, and he’s still doing this to me. He’s still retaliating. He know that he can get in trouble. He should be already in trouble for charting this and telling Lansing, and in his files that I’m doing good and ain’t nothing wrong with my ears and everything, and this is the Head Doctor from Lansing. So what is going to be done now about this? Well, y’all know the truth. 84 days to (inaudible) that’s a long time to take that medication twice a day. Like this is, this is wrong.  I cannot speak out. I can’t say nothing about my health. I can’t do anything because I’m getting retaliated. I’m not going to stop fighting for my life. They are killing me in here. So I’m asking everybody to step in and help save a life.
