• recognizing that a medical professional may claim as a defense that he was only negligent in diagnosing or treating a medical condition
• holding that chest pains that may indicate a heart attack are sufficiently serious to satisfy the objective prong of Farmer
• concluding that several hours of severe chest pain imposed by failure to treat heart attack established substantial harm
• concluding that a nurse who, at worst, misdiagnosed inmate and failed to pass on information about his chest pain was entitled to summary judgment
• holding that a prison officer plausibly violated a detainee’s rights by not addressing the detainee’s symptoms even when he knew they were “consistent with a heart attack”
• holding that the deliberate indifference standard was satisfied where the officer waited more than a day to obtain medical treatment despite the inmate’s clear signs of a heart attack
