Ireland v. Prummell
Repeated use of Taser against resisting prisoner undergoing alcohol withdrawal was not excessive.
Repeated use of Taser against resisting prisoner undergoing alcohol withdrawal was not excessive.
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.
