Family Fights for Ivermectin for Dying Loved One, Courts Say 'No'
PJ Media ^ | 01/16/2022 | Kevin Downey Jr.

Posted on 01/16/2022 4:30:16 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Daniel Pisano is dying of COVID-19. He’s been on ventilator in Florida for 28 days now at the Mayo Clinic. His doctors give him a less than 5% chance of survival.

His wife and son want him treated with the COVID plan recommended by Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). It involves using ivermectin. They want Dr. Eduardo Balbona to treat their family member. The Mayo Clinic refused. The family went to court, hoping the court would force the clinic to allow an outside doctor to treat Pisano. Judge Marianne Aho decided against it.

They appealed that decision and lost that court battle, too. They don’t get to decide what course to take for the 70-year-old Pisano.

The Mayo Clinic asserted that the FLCCC COVID battle plan doesn’t fall in line with their COVID protocol, which at this point appears to be to leave Pisano on a ventilator and hope for the best. This, despite hundreds of stories of people using ivermectin to survive COVID.

Jonathan Bowling and his family have several comorbidities which make recovering from COVID-19 much more difficult. Watch his story as he credits the FLCCC protocol for saving their lives after they fell ill with the disease:

Ivermectin is a drug used for livestock but it’s also been used for decades on humans. Numerous peer-reviewed studies show ivermectin can help people with the Bat Soup flu.

Why doesn’t a family have any say in the care of a loved one? More importantly, why would the Mayo Clinic allow people to die rather than try ivermectin? What’s stopping them?

RE: Who knows? Maybe the patient had a physician who thought Ivermectin would do the trick

I think that is another speculative theory. I would think that the Mayo Clinic doctors would have known better and informed the patient about the Monoclonals.

Also, it would depend on the patient’s particular variant. As I understand it, only GlaxoSmithKline’s sotrovimab works for Omicron. The Regeneron and Eli Lilly Monolonals don’t seem to work at all.

Are there any hospitals that will allow the use of ivermectin. If there are how do you find them?

This is delta that the patient has
Omicron is so mild that I have not seen any with pathology in the hospital — I am not convinced that it needs monoclonals

Omicron it the “natural” vaccine. See South Africa, once it took hold and because off its contagion and ability to stimulate antibodies against previous and more lethal strains — it is over (incidentally see previous corona may confer partial immunity creating the so called “immortals”). It all makes sense from an epidemiological perspective

RE: According to the testimony of Balbona MD, the once case he successfully forced — died

Then the report from the Epoch Times is wrong.

It says in the article:

Dr. Balbona is a former physician at the U.S. Capitol, where he treated members of Congress and the Supreme Court. He has had a lot of success with ivermectin and the FLCCC therapeutic suggestions, though he admits to tweaking dosages. He stated he has cured “dozens and dozens” of seriously ill COVID patients.

Yes he is. That’s exactly what the medical profession is these days. Cock sucking parasites.

No, he is going to die because the hospital and the judge say so.
Most guilt on the judge.

RE: This is delta that the patient has

OK, if so, then the question still persists — why was the patient not given Monoclonals ( any one ) early on?

I can only speak for critical care — and by the time I get them, there is no use for ivermectin and the literature despite what others say is extremely tenuous on the position that it helps in phase III disease

It is not a hospital that permits ivermectin — it is am individual physician. I suppose that in this case the patient if he believe in Balbona should have gone to either of the other hospitals where he has privileges. According to the ruling Mayo is closed staff, he chose to seek Mayo, and the judge properly did not command mayo to put a physician (who incidentally is NOT board certified) on staff.

Please read the ruling. It talks about the acutal efficacy of ivermectin — both sides are presented.

It is quite impressive

Because the patient either did not seek them, or got bad adivce that it was not needed.

I did some research — it appears that in Florida, a patient can seek monoclonals on his or her own without primary referral — DeSantis set up several monoclonal clinics that are walk in and get treatment.

Read the decision — 250 + pages of testimony that speaks against what you have said. Please do not tell people to not seek medical advice — it is dangerous, and deadly if people follow your non-professional opinion.

Slide.

HCQ and metformin don’t seem to mix well. according to literature. I don’t know why we haven’t seen that mentioned when some are seeking it with out doctors advice.

Thank you, I had never hear the term “closed staff”. Do not really understand what that means.

What happens if the patient did not seek the monoclonals, maybe because he is not aware of these drugs? Shouldn’t Mayo be responsible for informing the patient about these as soon as they admitted him?

Even if the patient did not seek them, the Mayo staff should be giving him this information.

This practice of pretty well imprisoning a patient and denying requested care will stop after they lose a few staff and hospital admins when loved ones are killed by their protocols. Some folks have protocols of their own when family members are killed purposely for a few bucks from the Fed. Killing for hire used to be against the law. It’s so surprising fauci and gates are still walking around after their kill count has gone so high.

The early opinions that I was seeing were that the monoclonals weren’t thought to be effective against the two new variants and so were being held back.

I don’t know why that would be true, but I don’t understand how MAbs work, that’s above my pay grade. I just try to follow what’s going on with the medical types as best I can. Some of it I do know in detail, MAbs isn’t one of them. Maybe one of the docs can explain it.

If his 02 was below a certain number when he arrived at the hospital or it was past day 10 since onset of symptoms, then it was already too late for MABs when he was admitted to Mayo.

The article does not give his history, so we don’t know whether this was the case. Is there a link to the court case? I read through the thread but did not see it. Perhaps that information can be found there.
