Reno Attorney Joey Gilbert and Las Vegas Attorney Sigal Chattah have filed the first Remdesivir wrongful death lawsuit (see below) in Nevada on behalf of the heir of a man who allegedly died from Remdesivir treatment for his COVID-19 diagnosis. The Sparks Family Hospital, Northern Nevada Medical center, doctors and individuals are named in the complaint. The plaintiff, in part, alleges the following:
- Patient (now deceased) was prescribed Ivermectin and HCQ. Hospital staff were instructed that under no circumstances was patient to be administered Remdesivir (Veklury) for treatment of his symptoms.
- Staff said that they would comply with patient’s requests but that he could not be given the HCQ or Ivermectin because it was against hospital protocols.
- Doctor ordered Remdesivir despite objections.
- Patient was given Remdesivir and died of renal and respiratory failure a week later.
- Remdesivir is a dangerous, experimental drug
- It is medically unethical, and a violation of Nevada laws, to administer an unnecessary medical treatment.
- It is medically unethical, and a violation of Nevada laws, to administer a medical treatment without informed consent.
