My name is Mary Vallier TDCJ #762401, I have been in the system for two years, and one other stretch. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis C.
I was released in April of 99 and returned on a violation in December of 2000. Since my incarceration here my health has seriously declined due to lack of proper medical care.
I am in the end stages of cirrhosis now, and all they tell me is that there is nothing they can do for me, well thats what they have told me since I was diagnosed. There are things they could do for me ,but don't.
I applied for special needs parole and was denied. I had to take it upon myself to apply for that.
All medical ever tells me is that I am dying and I have to accept that, well I've always been a fighter, but the fight is getting harder. These people over medical here, in my opinion, would not make good animal doctors.
You just cannot imagine the mental anguish I go through daily knowing that my life is in the hands of a bunch of un professionals. I fully intend to fight until I draw my last breath,to try and help others in the same situation and see justice done for all of the ones that have suffered due to the neglect of medical care here.
The only medication I have been on for years are vitamins and water pills. I have only had one ultra sound on my liver, no biopsy. They only speculate on the serious aspects of my condition, due to my critical labs and symptoms. I have taken so many water pills that my kidneys don't work on their own.
If there is anyone out there that reads this letter. I am not asking for sympathy, only empathy, Just because a person makes mistakes in their life don't mean they deserve to die in the process. Hopefully there will be an attorney or even a judge that will look into these matters,everyone in the system can't be telling a lie. I really do think that these accusations against the State prison Medical Facilities and U.T.M.B. should be looked into. Ask yourselves if you had a loved one in the system would you want then to be neglected this way? Take a chance on us, we are only women trying to survive on the inside.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. If there is anyone out there that may be willing to help, please contact me. I go home August 23rd address upon release has been provided
