Ireland v. Prummell

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 12/06/2022 - 15:37

Reexamining inmates for medical conditions and reordering prescriptions, necessarily causing delay in treatment, did not have “plainly obvious consequence” of causing serious injury; doctor’s decision to run her own bloodwork before prescribing medication, rather than administering medication that had already been prescribed when prisoner was at hospital, was at most negligent; claims against officers rejected on ground there was no showing that officers had subjective awareness of serious medical needs of prisoner undergoing alcohol withdrawal.
