Plaintiff's estate claimed breach of duty by not having licensed physician or psychologist/psychiatrist make suicide evaluation and inadequate training/supervision. Court says: "This claim is without merit. Even assuming for purposes of argument that the jail had a "policy" of allowing LPNs and LPCs to conduct suicide evaluations, Ernst provides no authority (and we are aware of none) for the proposition that an inmate's Eighth Amendment rights are violated if a medical professional other than a licensed physician or psychiatrist makes suicide watch determinations" http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/16/16-5148.pdf Charles W.
