Judge: Patient's wife cannot force UC West Chester to treat COVID-19 patient with ivermectin

The wife of a hospitalized and intubated COVID-19 patient cannot force UC West Chester Hospital to continue treating her husband with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication with no proven effectiveness against the novel coronavirus, a judge ruled Monday morning.

“While this court is sympathetic to the plaintiff and understands the idea of wanting to do anything to help her loved one, public policy should not and does not support allowing a physician to ‘try’ any type of treatment on human beings,” wrote Judge Michael Oster in his ruling.

Julie Smith, whose husband Jeff Smith has been hospitalized in intensive care since July 15, sought an injunction against UC West Chester Hospital after it refused to administer the medication despite a prescription from an outside doctor.

The doctor in question, Dr. Fred Wagshul, had not seen Smith in person at the time of the prescription, did not know Smith’s medical history and does not have privileges at West Chester Hospital.

But the prescription "gave me hope that there was something we could try," Julie Smith said. "I didn't want to just sit there and let him die."

This bassturd judge didn’t make this decision just for this particular patient.
He made this decision to set a legal precedence to ward off any potential future legal actions to use this treatment.
Check his bank account and see IF he got a nice, big, fat check from Big Pharma. /s He should be removed from the bench....permanently.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Pfizer is developing it’s own ivermectin knockoff...

So, it was so important to the hospital to withhold this inexpensive treatment, that they fought the original order in court to overturn it.

Unbelievable

I hope that hospital has MASSIVE backlash from the community.

It sure looks that way. Unfortunately.

"Wha?? Doctors “try” stuff on patients all the time."

Exactly. Every time a doctor prescribes a new medication or replaces a current medication with a new drug, anything could happen. It's a game of chance each and every time.

“public policy should not and does not support allowing a physician to ‘try’ any type of treatment on human beings,”

They are trying a failed mRNA technology on the entire world. The FDA filings of the pharmas said they didn’t have data to indicate whether the Covid ‘vaccines’ stop spread, stop infection. The pharmas didn’t trial their products on pregnant women, people with co-morbidities or children. All prior trials on animals were failures - so they went on to inject the world with these bioweapons.

Ivermectin has been in use safety around the world for many years. It’s FDA approved because it went through standard rigorous safety testing.

They want us dead and they won’t take ‘No’ for an answer.

The issue here is that the doctor has no privileges at that hospital. If the judge ruled in favor of plaintiff this would essentially mean any doctor had privileges at any hospital. Additionally writing an rx without even seeing the patient even by telehealth is probably a bad idea.

Let’s hope this judge doesn’t rule on Oncology patients who often sign and receive experimental drugs. Jerk.

Which is why I cyber screamed about Terri when it happened.

The judge is right. We can't allow this to happen again with the potential loss of billions of dollars and bruised ego's over a cheap cure!

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."

She needs to find another facility perhaps hospice and sign him out AMA. If there is any chance for him to survive at all he has to get out of that hospital.

Questions:

re: privileges; in the other stories about people getting the hospital to give ivermectin to their loved ones, did the doctor who wrote the prescription have privileges at that hospital?

re: telehealth; people fill out a questionnaire and communicate with a doctor in real-time, so how is that a problem?

[lastchance]

Public policy be damned. It has nothing to do with that. This is how a physician decides to care for his patient. There has always been a great deal of leeway in that. Mostly because finding the right medication is often a crap shoot of trying again and again.

[gas_dr]

This particular article states that the physician never saw the patient. My guess is that in other situations the rx was filled by a pharmacy then brought in by the family. A hospital can deny this. It sounds as if the family is expecting the rx to act as an order in the hospital.

[WildHighlander57]

did the doctor who wrote the prescription have privileges at that hospital?

do hospitals allow meds to be prescribed by doctors who don’t have privileges at that particular hospital?

reason I ask is due to points raised in gas_dr’s post:
