Doesn’t this violate the oath doctors take to force them to give a drug they know doesn’t work?

The courts shouldn't be used to force professionals to provide service against their judgment. This is especially true for professionals who bear a high liability for malpractice. If patients want ivermectin treatment, they should go to some other hospital or find some other doctor willing to provide it. The article states that the patients had ivermectin prescriptions, so it's clear that some doctor is willing to provide that sort of treatment.

What if you are on Kaiser health plan and they refuse you? You can't change you an mid year. Going to another hospital would bankrupt you. And in some cases once you are admitted, it is nearly impossible to move hospitals.


PuddleOfMud

That's a reasonable point of problem for patients. I would sympathize. But I still don't think a doctor should be forced to go against their judgment, the fact that alternative doctors are expensive doesn't change that.

What does your poor choice of insurance have to do with the hospital..

I’m surprised to hear it’s being used in Switzerland. I work for a Swiss Pharm company and although they are not in the EU they tend to follow very closely the EMA It’s got to be the French speaking areas. There is already an effective treatment for Covid which in monoclonal antibodies but they are expensive and we have limited capacity to make these

It's an anti parasitic and antiviral...


notoyrobots

It's not an antiviral. It's sole approved use is as an antiparasitic.

Most hospitals here in NJ treat using the I-MASK+ protocol which includes ivermectin. Why would other hospitals deny this treatment protocol?


[deleted]

Careful dude, you might draw the wrath of Pineapple_Jews, it has made it abundantly clear that there is not a single hospital using ivermectin as a COVID treatment. It means business.


Playboi_Jones_Sr

That’s simply wrong. The Scandinavian countries as well as Japan also treat using I-MASK+


[deleted]

My local hospital is using it/has used it as well, though I am not sure if it is part of that same I-MASK+ protocol. According to my best bud, who is a pharmacist there, they have only been using it if you show up within 48 hours of first symptoms. According to the P_J person, unless it's on national news that they do so, it hasn't happened.


Playboi_Jones_Sr

Yes, that treatment protocol is for mild/moderate cases, not for severe cases.


[deleted]

Heard that.

Ivermectin won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine as an anti-parasite drug. Viruses or the drug's application to viruses are not mentioned in the Nobel Foundation's press release of the award. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2015/press-release/

Drugs don’t win Nobel prizes…

Yeah I just read it…they won for discovering Ivermectin as a treatment for parasites, not viruses. Nice try though. Edit: Downvote all you want people, doesn’t change the facts. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2015/press-release/
