  • declining to question doctors’ treatment decisions premised on a lack of objective indicators of injury and history of malingering
  • physician’s treatment of inmate with ibuprofen, a drug that could aggravate gastrointestinal problems, did not constitute deliberate indifference, absent medical evidence to corroborate what appeared to be a self-diagnosis of stomach ulcers
  • “[The doctors] decided to treat Fitzgerald . . . based on their professional assessment of his medical history and the lack of objective indications of pain, and we will not second- guess their decisions.”
