Hospitals won’t get their remdisiver and death bounties if they let ivermectin have a foot in the door
There is no reimbursement based on administration or non administration of remdesivir. And the ruling is good. There is a right to try. But remember the order is for the hospital to get out of the way. However as some of my colleagues have pointed out demand of a treatment does not equate to a duty to treat on behalf of the physician. A court cannot compel or mandate that a physician write certain orders.
I think the courts should be careful around substituting judgment in terms of treatments. If there is a properly licensed physician width privileges in that hospital is willing to write the order the hospital should get out of the way. However it is one step away from a court ordering a doc to so something which would be quite dangerous.
