Gordon ex rel. Gordon v. Frank, 454 F.3d 858, 864 (8th Cir. 2006) (“In this case, it was unreasonable for Arends, Deschene and Frantsi to ignore Gordon’s shortness of breath and chest pain because they were responsible for responding to medical emergencies and knew Gordon was on high observation. A medical assessment does not justify qualified immunity when officers ignore it.”).

Plemmons v. Roberts, 439 F.3d 818, 825-26 (8th Cir. 2006) (“Viewing the evidence in the record in the light most favorable to Plemmons, we hold a reasonable fact finder could conclude the Defendants violated his clearly established constitutional rights by disregarding his need for medical care, particularly considering Plemmons’ allegation that he stated he was a heart patient and in light of the obviousness of his symptoms. We further hold, given the facts as we must take them, that no reasonable official could have thought the failure to summon immediate medical help for Plemmons was lawful.”).

Tlamka v. Serrell, 244 F.3d 628, 635 (8th Cir. 2001) (stating that “under the facts we are presented with in this summary judgment appeal, any reasonable officer would have known that delaying Tlamka’s emergency medical treatment for 10 minutes, with no good or apparent explanation for the delay, would have risen to an Eighth Amendment violation”).
