Sun Ng, a retired contractor from Hong Kong, traveled to Illinois to celebrate his only granddaughter’s first birthday. He got covid and was near death in a Chicago-area hospital. All other options were exhausted, but the hospital refused to give Mr. Ng a generic, FDA-approved drug with an extraordinary safety record that a doctor believed could safe his life.
Finally, a judge asked the right question about ivermectin.
“What’s the downside?”
Put another way: If a man is dying of covid in an ICU and all else has been tried, why not order a hospital to give a safe, last-ditch drug?
Edward Hospital, located near Chicago, offered three arguments as to why Sun Ng, seventy-one, should not be given ivermectin:
There could be side effects.
Ordering ivermectin would violate its policies.
Forcing the issue would be “extraordinary” judicial overreach.
On each argument, DuPage County Circuit Court Judge Paul Fullerton firmly disagreed.
“I can’t think of a more extraordinary situation than when we are talking about a man’s life,” he said in a November 5 decision that is a model of rational decision-making in an irrational era.
“I am not forcing this hospital to do anything other than to step aside,” he continued in a Zoom hearing. “I am just asking—or not asking—I am ordering through the Court’s power to allow Dr. Bain to have the emergency privileges and administer this medicine.”
The hospital ultimately stepped aside. Dr. Alan Bain, an internist, administered a five-day course of 24 milligrams of ivermectin, from November 8 through November 12.
Ng, who with his wife, Ying, had come from Hong Kong to celebrate their granddaughter’s birthday, was able to breathe without a ventilator within five days—he, in fact, removed the endotracheal himself. He left the ICU Tuesday, November 16, and, although confused and weak, was breathing Sunday without supplemental oxygen on a regular hospital floor.
“Every day after ivermectin, there was accelerated and stable improvement,” said Dr. Bain, who administered the drug in two previous court cases after hospitals refused. “Three times we’ve shown something,” he told me. “There’s a signal of benefit for ventilator patients.”
Ng’s remarkable progress stands in sharp relief to the repeated attempts by Edward-Elmhurst Health, the hospital’s managing system, to thwart the use of ivermectin. It succeeded in having the court’s initial November 1 order dismissed by claiming Ng was in better health than his lawsuit contended (he wasn’t). It then defied the November 5 order, saying Dr. Bain was not vaccinated (a negative test resolved the issue).
Moreover, after Ng’s treatment was complete, the hospital system filed notice that it would appeal the order that had already been carried out. It did this even though Sun Ng seemed to have benefited greatly.
The patient’s improvement, or condition generally, did not seem to matter.
At the outset, the hospital argued against court intervention, saying, “Mr. Ng is not terminal at this point.” But it was forced to admit that he had for days teetered on the brink of death after Ng’s daughter and only child, Man Kwan Ng, spoke to a hospital doctor November 3—and took copious notes that were submitted to the court.

I agree. This needs to stop. Biden and Fauci have blood on their hands and they need to step down or be held accountable.
Bkmrk
Why would a hospital want to give a patient a drug which would cure him quickly verses providing never ending worthless therapies and drugs.
Billable services would go down. Hospitals want sick people to stay sick
Why does the poor mans face look like he went several rounds with a professional boxer? Does anyone know, just click on the link and the picture stands out clearly.
Hospital physicians who deny IVERMECTIN to patients who request it are CRIMINAL!
The genocidal vaxhole maniacs would have murdered this guy. They wanted him to die.
Hospitals do not want you to survive this, especially if white or asian.
The majority has no clue and continues to worship Fauci instead of reality.
“Moreover, after Ng’s treatment was complete, the hospital system filed notice that it would appeal the order that had already been carried out.“
Libs! The man was obviously saved by ivermectin. But so called medical staff don’t even care about that
Lucky the court did not wait until Mr. Ng had to die to prove at risk of injury.
Our troops? Not so much. The sorry court won’t even consider protecting them from damage until they are kicked out.
filthy satanic evil!!!
.
The hospital wanted him to die. They are murderers.
What do you think Mandates are?
The government has taken the decision making away from both the doctor and the patient. The same idiots that mandate the Vax have legalized cocaine, heroin and marijuana and outlawed ivermectin and HCQ.
So much for patient rights and individual liberty.
Watch out you will be called a liar by some on FR if you dare question the ethics of the healthcare gods: doctors, administrators and the CDC by some on here. They believe hospitals and doctors would never do anything to hurt their patients and it’s simply not true I have family members who were murdered, starved to death in one case because she wouldn’t go on the vent. Another friend had her mom put on Remdisivir and a vent and the doctor told her husband at this point with this treatment they usually die within 5-7 days—they KNOW they are killing these people but only follow CDC approved playbook of death. She died...
How about losing a license to operate as a hospital. And the doctors who refused to administer lose medical licenses
:-)
⚡Exactly right!👍
“The majority has no clue and continues to worship Fauci instead of reality.”
Dr. Malone has a different take on Fauci. If you can catch his segments on War Room today, it’s a treasure chest of Fauci information. He compares Fauci to a mob boss. Called his network of organizations “Mafia”.
He’s not only “worshipped”. He’s terrorizing his underlings with threats of job loss, withholding funds, and probably worse.
“The hospital wanted him to die. They are murderers.”
Ditto for physicians and pharmacists.
