Is it possible there is confusion between cases. I think this is the university of California. It is a judge who denied a TRO motion. The other case I don’t believe was in California. Wasn’t it a different state and diddeeent judge?
It looks like the wife procured the ivermectin by a physician who read the chart whatever that means and prescribed the therapy. It is unclear to me whether that prescription was filled snd the wife is asking for a TRO against the hospital to block it from denying the medication or if the wife is alleging that the written prescription in and of itself is sufficient for the hospital yo administer from its inpatient pharmacy.
If the former wife would have slightly better argument on a right to try basis. If the latter I don’t think she has anything to stand on as the prescription is an invalid order at the hospital
In a broader discussion when a patient is hospitalized there is a process called med reconciliation. The patients home meds are evaluated and either held or continued in the context of what being the patient to inpatient status. So as an example if I have a shocked patient transferred to admitted to my ICU and he or she is on antihypertensives I obviously will hold the blood pressure medications. So the outside orders become invalid.
Like I said given my reading of this I don’t think she has much of a leg to stand on. It is entirely possible the physician who wrote the rx isn’t even licensed in the state which can be a further issue.
There are a lot blanks that should be filled in here.
they —did— give the meds, for a couple weeks:
