If I got hospitalized, and the doctor said “I want to try these meds on you”, I would definitely do it. I’d assume he would track me for bad side effects, and it’s not like he would be forgoing some OTHER treatment.
Frankly, if he told me he wanted to try one of the other meds, I might sign up for a trial, because I want to help.
My plan is to either ALREADY have had the damn thing, or never get it until they have known treatments. I like living.
All I have asked is are there these patients among the dead. I would hope the answer is No. In that case I would say, Have at it. If there is an indication it makes no difference in outcomes we might want to pause for a moment.
