endocrinologists and hence incompetent to treat diabetes. It came to nothing but in the course of events I was told there were 4-5 people in the local federal court whose job it was to deal with prisoner suits. They were generally fast tracked and thrown out, much
faster than for non-prisoner suits which seemingly can drag on for years at the whim of the attorneys (defense or plaintiff).
