Q: wife was arrested on F3 drug charge. She hasnt had proper medical attention n other injustices. can i sue county?

my wife was served arrest warrant and booked under wrong Identity (name, DOB, address, and all) They then changed the info four more times , each time being incorrect. I was attempting to put money on her books and while i put it on the name they booked her by, directly after my deposit her info was changed in system. No refund or transfer. She was fresh out of hospital with a blood clot close to her replaced Heart which is run by a pacemaker. she hasnt gotten her meds that i took to jailhouse. She was ordered to be monitored 3 times a week in hospital to watch the clot and work toward shrinking it and preventing it from entering heart. This is a serious health issue and she gets no monitoring. her information is still incorrect as we speak
