female who arrived at FDC SeaTac on May 9, 2008, as a Pre-Sentence Detainee who
was being held on charges of wire fraud. She had a medical history of depression,
above the right knee amputation with prosthetic, knee pain, chronic
constipation, and hyperlipidemia. Upon arrival at the institution, Dr. Brown received
an initial screening from institution medical staff. At the screening, she
voiced no other medical concerns. Prescriptions for Simvastatin, Sertraline
(Zoloft) and Acetaminophen were written. Following the assessment, Dr. Brown was
again seen by institution medical staff on the evening of May 12<sup>th</sup> for
complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. A diagnosis of acute
gastroenteritis was given. Promethazine by injection and Loperamide by mouth
were prescribed and provided. Dr. Brown was instructed to return to institution
sick call if her symptoms continued. On the evening of May 13th, she collapsed
in her cell and local emergency medical services were contacted. When the
paramedics arrived, Dr. Brown was unresponsive. Resuscitation efforts were
unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead. The autopsy performed revealed acute peritonitis
resulting from a perforated gastric ulcer.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination:
