What is the test for medical indifference in medical malpractice cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Castaneda v. Cryer, Case No. 1:14-cv-00658-MJS (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2014):
Nothing in the allegations suggests the care and treatment was substandard. Even if it was, mere medical negligence is not alone sufficient to claim medical indifference. See Broughton v. Cutter Labs., 622 F.2d 458, 460 (9th Cir. 1980), citing Estelle, 429 U.S. at 105-06 (1976).
