		As the cases themselves recognize, it is clear that while a prisoner is actually incarcerated the state restricts completely his ability to secure medical care "on his own behalf." For that reason, the Court has held, the state must provide prisoners with the medical care they need during the period of their incarceration.
		We therefore hold that the state must provide an outgoing prisoner who is receiving and continues to require medication with a supply sufficient to ensure that he has that medication available during the period of time reasonably necessary to permit him to consult a doctor and obtain a new supply.
		In short, allegations that a prison official has ignored the instructions of a prisoner's treating physician are sufficient to state a claim for deliberate indifference.
