Problematic

"A doctor at the detention center noted in the record that a CT scan should be performed if Mr. Ng’s pain did not respond to painkillers and muscle relaxants. Instead, on the evening of July 26, a Saturday, Mr. Ng was taken to the emergency room at a hospital in Pawtucket, R.I., which does not perform CT scans on weekends. Doctors there scheduled a CT scan for the following Monday, but according to affidavits from Mr. Ng’s lawyers, the detention center’s staff made no effort to take him back there.

Another scan was scheduled for Tuesday, the affidavits said, but Mr. Ng missed that one, too, because, his lawyers assert, he was unable to walk to the car and detention center officials refused to give him a wheelchair, then reported that he had refused to go."
