Dallas Morning News, April 8, 2007 AUSTIN - John Rodriguez's death, which his family blames on inattentive medical care, was a rarity at TYC.. Inmates rarely receive the treatment they need as soon as they need it, and they say small, nagging problems aren't taken seriously until they turn dangerous or life-threatening. A Dallas Morning News review of nearly 2,000 TYC medical mistreatment allegations and investigations since 2005 shows youths often must wait weeks or months for X-rays, prescriptions and referrals to specialists at the University of Texas Medical Branch or the Texas Tech Health Science Center. Those two health care providers manage all but psychiatric care, which TYC outsources to local doctors.
