Gabb v. Wexford Health Sources

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants-prison medical officials’ motion for summary judgment in plaintiff-prisoner’s section 1983 action alleging that defendants were deliberately indifferent to plaintiff’s back condition by either repeating ineffective treatments for his back or failing to prescribe other, more “better” treatments/medicines because they were too expensive. Plaintiff failed to present evidence that defendants’ treatments/medicines caused him any harm, where plaintiff failed to identify any treatment/medicines that would have been more effective in treating his back.
