The following excerpt is from Desantiago v. Marquez, Civil No. 08-1882 BTM (WMc0 (S.D. Cal. 2011):
Moreover, a difference of opinion between medical professionals concerning the appropriate course of inmate treatment or care is not enough, by itself, to support a claim of deliberate indifference. Sanchez v. Vild, 891 F.2d 240, 242 (9th Cir. 1989). Nor does a difference of opinion between the prisoner and his doctors constitute deliberate indifference.
