The Plaintiff, Tyler Jaye Wildes, has filed a civil-rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging constitutional violations of deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. After suffering an eye injury in a physical altercation with another inmate, Plaintiff complained of severe pain and a loss of vision. The Defendants—two nurses employed at the Saint Lucy County Jail—treated Plaintiff for his injury, but Plaintiff avers that the Defendants denied or delayed Plaintiff’s serious medical treatment by not immediately calling EMS or ambulatory services. Because of the Defendants’ deliberate indifference, Plaintiff claims that the hemorrhaging in his left eye went undiagnosed causing permanent damage.
