A panel from the Second Circuit Court has ruled that two doctors in New York's prison system must face claims of deliberate indifference from a former inmate. The inmate alleges that the doctors overlooked symptoms of cancer despite clear medical exam results. This ruling comes amidst broader scrutiny of medical practices within the state's prison system, where doctors with prior sanctions for serious medical mistakes have continued to be employed. In related news, journalists Reuven Blau and Max Rivera were awarded the Sidney Award for their investigative reporting on these issues, highlighting the challenges faced by incarcerated patients in receiving adequate medical care.
