Winkler v. Madison County, No. 17-6073 (6th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendants in an action alleging that jail personnel and members of Healthcare's medical staff violated federal and state law tort claims after her son died of a perforated duodenal ulcer in a detention center. The court held that the district court did not err in concluding that the record would not support a jury finding that defendants were deliberately indifferent to the deceased's serious medical needs. In this case, the facts supported a case of misdiagnosis rather than one of deliberate indifference.
