| Does The CIA Want This Man Dead? |
Editor's Note: There is a bit more to this story than this article will be able to divulge, but readers should know that Mr. Sterling is in jail because he blew the whistle on a covert CIA operation to a Congressional committee. He did what he was supposed to do, but the CIA has it in for him and has finally got him into jail, where his medical needs are being denied. The journalist who composed this story, Mark Adams, is a personal friend who works behind the scenes to uncover improprieties in government activities, such as the DOJ's mis-treatment of former Idaho Congressman George Hansen.

CIA Grudge? Prison Authorities Refusing Proper
Medical Attention
by Mark Adams * Government Reform Project
After hounding
him for ten years government reprobates, led initially by William
Welch - the same William Welch whose team of miscreants from the
"Public Integrity" Section of the DOJ framed Sen. Ted Stevens - finally
succeeded in railroading Jeffrey Sterling to prison after he morally
and legally alerted the Senate Select Committee On Intelligence about a
rogue CIA operation.
- There is grave concern that Jeffrey's prison sentence will become his death sentence. Jeffrey Sterling is a prime candidate for a pacemaker. Since last summer he has endured three serious cardiac episodes.
Last
month Jeffery's wife, Holly, contacted Dr. Caruso, a local Emergency
Treatment Physician in Denver, CO. After being informed of the facts
Dr. Caruso immediately contacted prison officials pleading that Jeffrey
Sterling be taken to a hospital for a full and immediate evaluation.
CHRONOLOGY OF A CRISIS
This is a very scary situation for me. As I have stated time and again to the medical staff here [Englewood federal prison in CO.] the episode of atrial fibrillation I experienced some years ago was serious enough for me to be hospitalized for four days, and what I felt then is what I'm feeling now. - Jeffrey Sterling
On 9/17/16 Jeffrey suffered an acute cardiac crisis. The accompanying chest pain was so severe he was literally in tears while waiting for permission to see the medical staffer on duty.
When Jeffrey was finally admitted to medical the staffer administered an EKG.
Almost three
months earlier, on 6/21/16, during another cardiac crisis, a nurse
administrator performed an EKG test and told Jeffrey it signified a
blockage, however, the nurse could not substantiate the finding
claiming that the results could have been an error. Incredulously, the
test was not repeated. Later the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) simply denied
that the EKG indeed signified a blockage.
On 7/27 a blood sample was taken.
During the
9/17 crisis the medical staffer informed Jeffrey that the blood tests
from 7/27 (by now almost two months ago) indicated enhanced levels of
Troponin I. Elevated blood levels of Troponin I are considered a
hallmark of cardiac damage and are followed up with prompt treatment.
Two days
later, on 9/19, Jeffrey was shackled hand and foot and taken to see a
specialist. The specialist ordered a beta-blocker (metoprolol) for
Jeffrey which was finally provided to him two days later on 9/21.
However there is concern over the thoroughness of the exam. The BOP insists there is nothing in Jeffrey's file pertaining to the blood panel results from 7/27. Therefore the specialist did not have the results of the blood test that indicated cardiac damage, i.e. the elevated Troponin I levels and whatever else a competent blood test might reveal.

Therefore the specialist did not have the results of the blood test that indicated cardiac damage, i.e. the elevated Troponin I levels and whatever else a competent blood test might reveal.
The specialist
has not followed up with additional tests to determine whether the
prescribed metoprolol is preventing further cardiac damage. Many times
other drugs are also needed to successfully treat atrial fibrillation
including: sodium channel blockers; potassium channel blockers; calcium
channel blockers.
There has been
no follow up work with Jeffrey to determine if a regimen of
pharmaceuticals is needed to provide successful therapy or if a
pacemaker may be required.
The failure of
prison infirmary personnel to provide competent care on a timely basis
coupled with the fact that the results of his blood workup tests of
7/27 are missing is very distressing. It was with these concerns in
mind that Jeffrey's wife, Holly, sought help from Dr. Michael Caruso, a
practicing local Emergency Medicine Physician in Denver, CO.
When Holly
informed Dr. Caruso how Jeffrey has recently suffered three serious
cardiac episodes, his previous hospitalization history, the abnormal
EKG results and the elevated Troponin I blood level, Dr. Caruso
immediately contacted Sara Revell the Regional Director of the North
Central Regional Office of the BOP stating in part:
[I]t appears that Jeffrey Sterling is actively being denied access to emergent medical treatment. ...
[I]
must demand that Jeffrey Sterling be immediately transported to an
appropriate hospital where his emergency medical complaints can be
appropriately and fully evaluated ...
Prison
officials have ignored pleas from Dr. Caruso to provide the necessary
standard of treatment for Jeffrey Sterling. Meanwhile every day for
Jeffrey and Holly is shrouded in anxiety and chronic fear: Will
Jeffrey's next cardiac crisis be fatal?
