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."

Just to be clear I am not one of those big pharma people who thinks they should not be tried. Not only do I think they should be tried there’s enough evidence to indicate they are a benefit as well. Whereas the jab? It doesn’t seem to be doing much good at all except for lining someone’s pocket

The author graduated last December from the University of Missouri Journalism School. I just wrote this to her...

Sarah…in your article today “Judge: Patient's wife cannot force UC West Chester to treat COVID-19 patient with ivermectin,” you wrote “…ivermectin, [is] an anti-parasitic medication with no proven effectiveness against the novel coronavirus.”

Would you please cite your source for this assertion?

While you are looking that up, you may want to read “Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19” in the American Journal of Therapeutics, April 22, 2021. The authors conclusion:

“Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.”

The data are not hard to understand. I urge you to start digging more deeply into a topic before writing about it. You can find many other such examples in other countries.

Did the Mizzou J-School not teach you how to do investigative reporting?

I pasted Figures 1 & 4 from the American Journal of Therapeutics paper into my mail as well.

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

As a matter of course hospitals allow continued dosing of medications a patient is on prior to admission, presumably a modification by the same doctor would not be an issue regardless of their relationship to the hospital.

Question is, what about after the person goes in hospital, and spouse wants to have them give meds such as Ivermectin.

Hopefully he will stabilize enough to get him out of there to another hospital

Problem is once you are in the hospital you are quarantined. Remember stories of old people not even being able to be in the same room with loved ones as they died behind glass barriers?

finding the right medication is often a crap shoot of trying again and again.

It often is a process of elimination. If they prescribe and if the patient doesn't get better then oops try next guess, treat for that and so on.

I think we just saw the answer to that for UC West Chester based on the Judge’s order.

[tophat9000]

Attorney Ralph Lorigo has gone to court to force hospitals to give ivermectin to vented patients. 12 times. He won court orders 11 times. 9 of those patients are now home and the 10th is rapidly improving on ivermectin.

We need to connect this woman to this attorney

That’s why you should pre elect your hospital before you commit yourself to internment and isolation under some didactic bureaucrats following CDC medicine even on a battlefield

I’d be prepared to drive a loved one over state lines to a hospital that uses the Marik protocol or others endorsed by the Frontline doctors

[silverleaf]

Or a judge that supports the right of a doctor to refuse a medically unnecessary abortion that a patient requests

My plan is to die at home in any case. I will have problems if they start refusing all medical care with out the vaccine, then will have to adapt. Best options are not always available to all people. Soon we will have to have vaccine passports to even cross a state line. They have half the population willing to help police the non compliers.

Probably already too late to help Australia or England for that matter.
