The 56-year old man went to the Wexford doctor at SCI-Huntingdon. He was having a problem. He also complained to the Wexford doctor that he was having chest pains.
The Wexford doctor refused to examine, treat or even discuss the chest pains. It wasn't "protocol." The 56-year old man's appointment was for some other problem. The chest pains would have to be dealt with according to the Wexford (Maximize The Profits) Protocol. If a prisoner wants to have chest pains, he must sign up for them first.
The prisoner with the chest pains would have to wait a day, and then sign up to be seen by the Wexford physician's assistant. When, after another day the Wexford "PAC" (as these delaying tactics are called) writes into the man's chart that he has chest pains, he may be put on a list to see the same Wexford doctor who refused to treat him a few days earlier.
Eventually, he may actually see the Wexford doctor again. Hopefully, the man will die or just suffer with his pain and so, Wexford will make bigger profits on prisoner suffering.
