Is there any evidence that there was a deliberate indifference to medical treatment for the respondent?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Coca, In re, 149 Cal.Rptr. 465, 85 Cal.App.3d 493 (Cal. App. 1978):
It is not suggested that there was any intent to torture or that proper facilities were withheld in an attempt to punish the respondent. However, the failure to respond to respondent's call for help within a reasonable time is a failure that must be deemed a deliberate indifference to serious medical needs within the guidelines of Estelle v. Gamble, supra, 429 U.S. 97, 102, 97 S.Ct. 285.
