Written by On June 30, 2006, C.O. Joan Smith, serving as the medical officer on duty, responded to inmate DiCamillo’s complaints of swollen ankles and lethargy. Despite noting his symptoms and consulting with a nurse practitioner, C.O. Smith did not take further action to address his deteriorating condition. DiCamillo was later found unresponsive and pronounced dead. A lawsuit alleged that C.O. Smith’s failure to provide adequate medical care constituted negligence, contributing to the inmate’s death.
