How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a plaintiff’s complaints about not being prescribed crutches, a wheelchair, or a cane following an operation on his foot, “at most, allege negligence and are insufficient as a matter of law to state a claim under § 1983”
• finding the plaintiff’s fracture, bone cyst, and degenerative arthritis in his feet were not “sufficiently serious” medical conditions under the Eighth Amendment
• summary judgment granted on claims of inadequate medical care based on dissatisfaction with foot surgery, where record reflected no more than medical negligence
• months of alleged “severe pain” after injury to great toe and pain from degenerative arthritis in ankle was “far less serious than the types of conditions the other cases illustrate qualify as serious medical needs.”
• fracture, bone cyst, and degenerative arthritis in toe
