After 28 Days on Ventilator, Family Loses Legal Battle to Try Ivermectin, Other Alternative Treatments, for Dying Father

A Florida family fighting to give their loved one on a ventilator alternative treatments for COVID-19 have lost another battle—this time in Florida’s First District Court of Appeal.

The wife and son of Daniel Pisano first squared off against Mayo Clinic Florida at an emergency hearing on Dec. 30 in Florida’s Fourth Judicial Circuit. Before that, they’d been begging the hospital to allow them to try treating Pisano—who’s been on a ventilator now for 28 days—with the controversial drug ivermectin, along with a mix of other drugs and supplements, part of a protocol recommended by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).

The family’s request for an emergency injunction to force the Mayo Clinic to allow treatments recommended by an outside doctor was denied by Judge Marianne Aho. They appealed the decision.

On Jan. 14, Aho’s decision was upheld by Florida’s First District Court of Appeal. The three-judge panel deciding the case included Judge Thomas “Bo” Winokur, appointed by then-Gov. Rick Scott in 2015; Judge M. Kemmerly Thomas, appointed in 2016 by Scott; and Judge Robert E. Long, Jr., appointed in 2020, by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“An opinion of this Court explaining its reasoning will follow,” the judges stated in the order they issued.

“So we wait to see what that looks like, unless it takes too long,” said Jeff Childers, an attorney for the family.

Seventy-year-old Daniel Pisano doesn’t have unlimited time, says Eduardo Balbona, M.D., an independent doctor in Jacksonville who’s been advising the family since they reached out to him while researching other treatments that could potentially help their loved one.

The lawyer should slap that down in front of the judge and say “explains this then!. My c,isn’t is dying, and you won’t allow him, on his own, the right to take a medicine that well could save his life? Have we really become that depraved in this country that we deny someone the right to try something that cou,d save their life? To try something that even our mi,Italy has allowed their members, and which congress has been allowed to take?”

The satanic evil emanating from the power hungry folks in positions over us is unreal these days.

So basically don’t go to the hospital in FL either.

I feel bad for this family, but let's be frank here. When you check into a hospital you are surrendering a lot of your control over the course of treatment you will get.

Can not a private doctor practice medicine in a hospital? Most people are almost unprepared for this situation and only some of them wise up when the time comes. Shouldn't mean that it justifies a death sentence.

FWIW.....Ivermectin this far in to the course of the DZ..is prolly worthless.

Viagra should be tried...IMO.

But I'm not a Doc..nor do I play one on T.V.

Good points.

All I'm saying is that there's a reason why the Amish folks in my neck of the woods haven't given one millionth of a sh!t about COVID, or about any of this Branch Covidian hysteria and totalitarian government and industry rules, since March 2020.

Twenty eight days is a long time to be on a ventilator. They likely trached him by now, unless he is defying their odds that he would have been dead 2 weeks ago.

It is not wanted nor desired by the Powers That Be that the father survives.

Actually, a person on a ventilator with a tracheotomy can eat,drink, and take a pill. It is quite common.

Why can’t they just slip him a pill when they visit.

Be wonderful if they could.

But try these reasons:
1. He's on a ventilator which means his stomach is blocked by the vent.
2. He may be in a medically induced coma.

There have been quite a few cases now where judges have ordered hospitals to administer Ivermectin to late stage Covid patients on ventilators, and they all improved immediately and survived. Haven't you seen the newspaper postings here about that?

Hospitals are being heavily incentivized to use Remdesivir and ventilators. They also have legal protection using the CDC and NIH protocols

After judge orders hospital to use experimental Covid-19 treatment, woman recovers

“This lady was on a ventilator, literally on her deathbed, before she was given this drug,” Lorigo told The Buffalo News about Smentkiewicz, a Cheektowaga resident. “As far as we’re concerned, the judge’s order saved this woman’s life.”

On Jan. 2, Smentkiewicz was given her first dose of Ivermectin, and according to court papers filed by her family, she made “a complete turnaround.”

“In less than 48 hours, my mother was taken off the ventilator, transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit, sitting up on her own and communicating,” Kulbacki said in a court affidavit.

That’s because they want the death payment from the Feds. Wretched vermin.

I said probably worthless...

Did I say don't try it. No...I did not say that.

I actually work sometimes in a Hosp. And IF my loved one was COVID POS and on a vent...I'd be asking/demanding...alternative TX's..

And I hate that...MD's/ DO's...have set standards of care..orders. And many times will not deviate.

The trachea is ‘blocked’ by the vent, the esophagus is not, unless there were a fistula or something. They do have tubes which protect both, but they are unusual in the ICUs. It may be different in the ORs, I spent relatively little time there.
