The following excerpt is from Greer v. Cnty. of San Diego, Case No.: 3:19-CV-0378-GPC-AGS (S.D. Cal. 2019):
3. There are "no significant distinction between claims alleging inadequate medical care and those alleging inadequate 'conditions of confinement.' Indeed, the medical care a prisoner receives is just as much a 'condition' of his confinement as ... the protection he is afforded against other inmates." Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 303 (1991).
