knew of, but deliberately disregarded, that need. Dulany v. Carnahan, 132 F.3d 1234, 1239 (8th Cir.1997). In granting summary judgment, the district court concluded that Meuir satisfied his burden of showing that the Jail’s medical staff was aware of his serious medical need, but that he failed to show that they deliberately disregarded that need. Whether a prison’s medical staff deliberately disregarded the needs of an inmate is a factually-intensive inquiry. Coleman v. Rahija, 114 F.3d 778, 784 (8th Cir.1997); Jensen v. Clarke, 94 F.3d 1191, 1197-98 (8th Cir.1996). The plaintiff-inmate must clear a substantial evidentiary threshold to show that the prison’s medical staff deliberately disregarded the inmate’s needs by administering an inadequate treatment. See Dulany, 132 F.3d at 1239 (<HOLDING>). “[A] prisoner’s mere difference of opinion
