Is there a difference of opinion between a medical provider and a prisoner on medical treatment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Brandford v. Kvichko, Case No.: 1:16-cv-01077-AWI-SAB (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2018):

407 (9th Cir. 1984); O'Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 617 (1990). Plaintiff may have pleaded a disagreement between himself and Defendant regarding his medical care, but has not shown that she was deliberately indifferent to his condition. Instead, his complaints were evaluated, and Defendant determined that the medication was nevertheless necessary. Plaintiff has not pleaded any facts showing more than a difference of opinion between a medical provider and a prisoner on medical treatment here.
