Is there any evidence of deliberate indifference or deliberate indifference by prison officials to the medical and dental care provided to a prisoner?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ching v. Arizona Dept. of Corrections, 955 F.2d 47 (9th Cir. 1992):
Ching contends that he received inadequate medical and dental care, but he fails to allege any facts to demonstrate that officials acted with "deliberate indifference" to his serious illness or injury. Estelle v. Gambel, 429 U.S. 97, 105 (1976). The government has submitted his dental and medical records and the prison dentist's affidavit. Nothing in the record raises a question of fact regarding the adequacy of medical care.
