Ohio judge orders hospital to give the horse drug ivermectin to a Covid patient despite doctors’ protest, saying the hospital must fulfill the patient’s wife’s request. The FDA actively discourages the use of ivermectin to treat Covid patients.
The Butler County judge said in an Aug. 23 ruling that West Chester Hospital must fulfill the patient's wife's request and administer the drug prescribed to Jeffrey Smith, 51, by a doctor unaffiliated with the hospital.
By Aug. 19, Jeffrey Smith’s chances of survival dropped below 30 percent and the hospital had"exhausted its course of treatment and Covid-19 protocol in treating Jeffrey," the complaint said.
