[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3326547, member: 7488"] The more specific problem here is that [I]multiple[/I] DOC physicians diagnosed the inmate with a mental health disorder and prescribed the hormone therapy as treatment, then another physician changed the diagnosis and ended the treatment. While the visible portion of the case is that the diagnosis in question is Gender dysphoria and its treatment being provided at the state's expense (that has been established OK DOC policy for several years, despite the vast majority of you and I reading this likely disagreeing with it), that's not the matter being adjudicated here. The crux of the lawsuit being green-lighted is the conflict of opinions by the different health care providers assigned by the DOC at given times. tl;dr it's a question of the doctors' professional opinions in regards to the diagnosis and subsequent prescribed treatment, not whether that treatment is to be paid-for or not.
