How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a prisoner’s right to adequate medical care was clearly established and genuine issues of material fact regarding the violation of that right precluded summary judgment
• concluding that “a reasonable jury could determine that the totality of the circumstances demonstrates deliberate indifference”
• holding that a genuine issue of material fact as to deliberate indifference existed when the prison official “was aware, or should have been aware” of the dangers posed to the prisoner
• concluding that a medical provider was deliberately indifferent where she learned about the prisoner’s serious symptoms at about 3:30 pm, but “would not see him until her regularly scheduled medication run at around 7:00 pm”
• finding that a delay in providing care to an inmate with a known serious condition may constitute deliberate indifference
• finding that inmate's care amounted to no treatment at all when inmate presented with severe heat exhaustion and vomited during examination, but nurse provided only cursory examination and returned him to his non-air-conditioned cube with instructions to drink water and take aspirin
