The following excerpt is from Mize v. Beard, No. 2:14-cv-1558 MCE CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2016):
A prisoner states a claim under the Eighth Amendment for inadequate medical care if the prisoner points to facts suggesting they were caused injury by a prison official who was deliberately indifferent to the prisoner's serious medical needs. Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104-05 (1976). A serious medical need exists if the failure to treat a prisoner's condition could result in the "unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain." Id. at 104.
