A Now-Deceased Inmate was Allegedly Denied Medical Care Continued

A duodenal ulcer is an open sore that develops on the inside of the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). It is a type of peptic ulcer, which is usually caused by an infection.

If medical personnel in a jail are paying attention to symptoms, they may recognize that an inmate with certain symptoms could be suffering from a duodenal ulcer. Also, a perforated duodenal ulcer, which is a much more serious condition, includes these symptoms:

• Sudden onset of severe abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Pyrexia, which is raised body temperature; fever
