Sec. 24-7. Sick prisoners.

When a prisoner claims to be sick the city sergeant shall
promptly notify the physician of the jail, who shall visit such
prisoner during the day in which he is so notified. If, in his
opinion, the prisoner is unfit for work, he shall so certify to
the city manager and such physician shall continue to visit
the prisoner daily so long as he may require medical attention.
(Code 1959, § 24-7.)
