Well in closing I'll say take care thank you for your assistance with much needed supplies and add to my blog: I was given a 30-day restriction by medical not to work and my program sergeant Which is? removed me from my job giving it to someone else which I feel is wrong cuz I did nothing to lose my position so I should have not had the job taken. They could have had someone fill in for me while I was on medical restriction then I'd still have my job and wouldn't have to worry about getting a new different one. Complaint: on 8924 at 10:25pm- I went to the office desk to let officer Cook know that I feel hot sweaty clammy as my pressure is high and he told me to write a slip so I can be seen on sick call tomorrow. I did and I gave it to him via protocol. I should have been evaluated tonight feeling this, cuz tomorrow I’ll feel better blood pressure will be normal and I won't feel sweaty clammy anymore so I won't be seen This is unprofessional. in original: Bernard's first issue is to preserve his low bunk restriction |
. Here we present some of the ins and outs of the SNC or "Special Needs Committee" which has the authority to override the outside Doctor's recommendations and causes much undue suffering and pain.
transcription of Bernards april statement on low bunk:
Bernard Kretlow 340419 Osci 4/22/24
reasons I should have an indefinite lower bunk restriction
1. I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of tossing and turning at night while asleep which occurs nightly
2. I'm at risk of falling as a result of my lower back locking up on me which happened on 418/24 or41924.
3.I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of my nightmares which I have.
4 I am at risk of injury to my left ankle having to go on the top on cuz it's injured already.
5.Nowhere to put sleep apnea machine or cause if I put it on the TV stand at foot of bed it's at risk of falling cuz I toss and turn and it can't sit on the floor cuz the hose won't reach to the top bunk ,not long enough would need two hoses.
6.At risk of seizure if I've become stressed which happens quite a bit with my cell Vance Adduci and

RE: Low bunk for Bernard Kretlow 340419
April 22, 2024
Hello,
I am concerned for the well being of Bernard Kretlow, He has been recently denied the low bunk designation because he has not had seizures in a few months. I ask that you applaud yourselves and him for this improvement in his health and keep the low bunk restriction . Bernard is afraid of falling from the top bunk. Such a fall would have serious consequences. He has fallen from the low bunk and this fear of falling increases his risk for seizures and falling.
The DAI 500.30.07 Special Needs rule on Lower bunk restriction states:
“A person should be restricted from the upper bunk if they have a medical condition that represents a higher than average likely hood of severe injury if that person fell from the upper bunk or if there is an uncontrolled medical condition that places them at increased risk of a sudden unpredictable loss of mobility, balance or cognition.”
Bernard Kretlow certainly qualifies here- Please do not jeopardize your success with helping him control his seizures- Allow Bernard Kretlow to keep his low bunk restriction.
Thankyou for your attention:
