“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.”
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?
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.
