    Default US judge orders hospital to treat Covid patient with ivermectin

    US judge orders hospital to treat Covid patient with ivermectin
    AFP - Yesterday 1:11 PM


    AUS woman has won a court order for a hospital in Ohio to treat her husband, who is on a ventilator with Covid-19, with the antiparasitic medicine ivermectin, as demand surges for the unproven coronavirus treatment.

    The case is one of several nationwide where courts have sided with litigants seeking to use the drug, despite scant evidence of its effectiveness against Covid and a rise in calls to poison centers as a result of misuse, including ingesting livestock-strength formulations.


    Judge Gregory Howard ordered West Chester Hospital, located outside Cincinnati, to treat Julie Smith's husband Jeffrey Smith with ivermectin, according to an order filed August 23.

    Smith had received a prescription from physician Fred Wagshul, who is listed on the website for a group called "Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance" that advocates for use of ivermectin.

    She is being represented by lawyer Ralph Lorigo, who has won similar cases in New York and Chicago.

    Since the start of the Covid pandemic, there has been considerable interest in repurposing existing medications.

    Ivermectin attracted much attention, particularly in Latin America, and early lab studies suggested it might have beneficial properties for fighting the coronavirus.

    But, as is often the case, promise in lab settings has so far failed to translate to real world success, as judged by its lack of clear efficacy in trials.

    The National Institutes of Health says there is not enough evidence "either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19" until clear results become available from rigorous trials.

    Ivermectin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat people with certain conditions caused by parasitic worms, but the agency has warned people against using it for Covid.

    A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that by mid-August, physicians were writing out more than 88,000 prescriptions of the drug per week -- well above the pre-pandemic baseline of 3,600.

    Poison control centers have seen a three-fold increase in the number of calls for ivermectin overdoses.

    One case involved an adult drinking an injectable ivermectin formulation intended for cattle and becoming hospitalized for nine days with confusion, drowsiness, hallucinations, rapid breathing and tremors.

    Another person bought ivermectin of unknown strength from the internet, took it five times a day for five days, and presented to hospital disoriented and unable to answer questions or follow commands. The symptoms improved after they discontinued use.

    The popularity of ivermectin against Covid has drawn comparisons to a hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug that was particularly favored by conservatives last year, despite no strong evidence of real world efficacy.

    High-profile proponents include Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, as well as Republican Senator Ron Johnson.
    Notice how they cited when people used it in ways that were certain to cause adverse results, but deliberately never mentioned examples where it gave fantastic results..

    She has the right to request such treatment.

    That it has not been proven to be beneficial is beside the point.

    COVID-19 patient shows 'improvement' after receiving ivermectin following legal battle with hospital
    Published May 4
    https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/co...-with-hospital
    FOX 32 Chicago

    ELMHURST - After a short but tense legal battle, Edward-Elmhurst Hospital has agreed to allow an outside doctor to administer ivermectin to one of its COVID-19 patients.
    "She looks calm, relaxed, she looks comfortable, so this is all I can tell right now," said Desi Fype, who has been fighting for her mother, 68-year-old Nurije Fype, to receive ivermectin -- an anti-parasitic drug which has not been FDA-approved to treat COVID.
    Since Nurije was placed on a ventilator April 28th, and with her condition not improving, Desi has been fighting for Edward-Elmhurst Hospital to allow the drug to be used.
    "At the point of me having nothing else to lose, and seeing that no other treatment in the hospital was making her any better, I wanted to try something different. Why not try to save her life instead of seeing her decline?" Desi said.
    While ivermectin isn't FDA-approved, some doctors say it's proved to be effective against COVID. Despite a judge's orders, the hospital had been refusing to administer the drug until Monday night, when it agreed to let an outside doctor give Nurije her first dose.
    "I was really really excited and hopeful to have this drug administered to my mom as well, because from the day that she was admitted to the hospital, her condition kept only declining," Desi said.
    "Today, after her first dose, the ventilator has been reduced from 75 percent to 65 percent," said Fype family attorney Ralph Lorigo.
    "That's an improvement. Now she will get a dose of ivermectin every day until recovery."
    Edward-Elmhurst Hospital has declined to comment on Nurije's treatment, citing privacy regulations.

    After experimental Covid-19 treatment, 80-year-old woman thankful to be home


    Feb 22, 2021
    Updated Apr 9, 2021
    Buffalo News NY
    https://buffalonews.com/news/local/a...de5ae5d71.html

    As Judith Smentkiewicz fought for her life in a local hospital last month, she had no idea that her struggle with Covid-19 was the subject of a heated court battle and stories in the news media. Until a few days ago, the 80-year-old woman was unaware that her family’s lawyers had obtained a court order enabling her to receive doses of Ivermectin, a drug that has not yet been approved by the federal government as a Covid-19 treatment.
    Now that she’s back at her Cheektowaga home and well on the road to recovery,Smentkiewicz is amazed at everything that happened to her.
    “I had no idea that any of this was going on,” Smentkiewicz told The Buffalo News in an interview. “My son and daughter didn’t tell me the whole story until I got home."They just wanted me to take care of myself and get better.”

    Smentkiewicz said she has “absolutely no memory” of a five-day period when she was on a ventilator at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. According to family members, doctors there told them that her chances of survival were about 20%. “I remember being taken to the hospital in an ambulance on Dec. 31, and being put on a stretcher in a hallway,” Smentkiewicz said. “I know they put me on the ventilator that day, but I don’t remember a single thing that happened until Jan. 4, when I was taken off the ventilator and able to sit up in my bed. I’m kind of glad I don’t remember those days.”

    She now knows that her son, Michael, and daughter, Michelle Kulbacki, insisted that doctors give Smentkiewicz Ivermectin, a drug that has helped Covid-19 patients in other countries but has not yet been approved as a Covid-19 treatment in the U.S. She also realizes that, when doctors were reluctant to give her more than one dose of the drug, her son and daughter hired attorneys Ralph C. Lorigo and Jon F. Minear to get a court order that enabled her to get more doses. On Jan. 8, State Supreme Court Justice Henry J. Nowak ordered the hospital to resume treatment with Ivermectin. After that, Smentkiewicz made a strong recovery. She was able to leave the hospital in mid-January. She then spent a month in the Harris Hill Nursing Facility in Amherst, and on Tuesday, she returned home. “I am so appreciative of my family, the lawyers, the judge, the doctors, and all these people who were praying for me and fighting for me,” said Smentkiewicz, speaking to a reporter in a strong, clear voice. “I know I had a lot of prayer warriors on my side.” “While she was on the ventilator, we prayed for Mom. We prayed to God, and the answer that came back to us was Ivermectin,” Kulbacki said. “My brother was doing some research on his own and came up with the information about Ivermectin.
    Nothing else was helping our mother. We read that Ivermectin was helping other people and had no dangerous side effects. We decided we had to try it.”
    Kulbacki said her mother made “a complete turnaround” within days of her first doses of Ivermectin.
    Smentkiewicz said she got “very good” care in the hospital and nursing home, and now feels she is “at about 85%” of where she was before she caught the virus.
    “I’m eating, walking, exercising, getting myself dressed and making my own bed, getting back to normal life little by little,” she said. “I feel good, but I get out of breath if I try to do too much. I’m having a little trouble with balance and doing physical therapy twice a week.”...


    ......
    Unapproved by FDA, Ivermectin useful as Covid-19 treatment, local doctors say
    Some Western New York physicians are using Ivermectin as part of the arsenal of drugs to combat a virus that has killed more than 430,000 Americans.

    Thank you for cataloging all this info. I've read all these articles but couldn't find them when I went back. MSM, WH, CDC, so called covid experts, pharmaceutical industry are shutting down this info because it takes away the fear porn about covid. And, affects their bottom line.

    You must not have read them Jake.
    If you take the time to read and listen beyond ... well,... look, reading widely will give folks a larger view and better perspective right?
    Looking at all the evidence available is better than not, correct?

    I posted 2 articles that showed 2 women, one 65, the other 80. Both were on ventilators, which typically means they were going to die.
    But they were given Ivermectin by court order and they both went home in about 30 days.

    Are you telling me that if you or someone you cared about had covid and were going downhill fast that this information... and the other dr's reviews and use of it... wouldn't stand out to you as EVIDENCE that it works?
    Or would you stand by the words of the FDA, NIH and WHO and your favorite TV news People and just BELIEVE they are telling the truth in spite of the evidence here.
    And cling to the "official" and MSM assertions that the unapproved drug Ivermectin is useless and dangerous?

    I hope not. I hope you're independent enough to look at evidence and decide for yourself based on the facts no matter what we're expected to "believe" in the conventional wisdom.

    I've been Saving a lot of this stuff to my harddrives. Articles as pdf, and downloading videos.
    the censorship is real. and it's something I really hoped i'd never have to worry about, to this degree, in my lifetime in America.

    You know i've always warned that we were heading in this direction, but to be living in America and wondering if i can find once publicly available life saving information because the gov't, and the major US media are actively and systematically hiding it, makes me sick to my stomach.

    1 Peter 2:16

    the censorship is real. and it's something I really hoped i'd never have to worry about, to this degree, in my lifetime in America.

    You know i've always warned that we were heading in this direction, but to be living in America and wondering if i can find once publicly available life saving information because the gov't, and the major US media are actively and systematically hiding it, makes me sick to my stomach.
    Agreed!
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.


    George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.
