Sometimes the local jail is holding people waiting the get into the State Pen. Everytime they have any complaint and ask to see the physician they have to bring them in to my office. Most are bogus. Alot want me to order them 3 pillow, two mattresses, pain meds, something for anxiety and to sleep. They are out of luck. But, the city has to pay. I always charge a small amount. I am kind. They all want the mush meth mouths treated by the dentists. All the health problems they caused and never saw a physician for they now can demand be treated. Just the way it is.
You might be wise to get references to previous physicians before dismissing such cases out of hand. More of the mentally ill than “normal” people end up going to jail and of course they will more likely to be on treatment regimens which were abruptly ended when they were arrested.
