Once Again, a Hospital Rejects Ivermectin and a Patient Dies

An unfortunate situation has repeated itself in Florida. In Palm Beach Gardens, a woman diagnosed with COVID-19 died 12 weeks after being admitted to the hospital. Her husband unsuccessfully sued Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center in an effort to get the doctors to use ivermectin. The lawsuit was filed last month.

According to an Associated Press article, Tamara Drock died this past Friday. Her husband Ryan had filed suit against the hospital to force the doctors treating Tamara to use ivermectin. The judge in the case, James Nutt, rejected the suit, saying, “allowing judges to countermand doctor’s decisions could set a dangerous precedent.” The judge and the hospital appear to be following the Food and Drug Administration guidelines, which say that “ivermectin has not been authorized or approved for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.”

TrialSite News has done several stories on similar situations—most recently in Illinois, where a judge allowed an unvaccinated doctor to administer ivermectin to a patient. When the Illinois patient was admitted to the hospital, he was immediately put on a ventilator and given a 50% chance of survival. Apparently, treatment with ivermectin saved his life.

The judge in the Florida case urged the two sides to come to an agreement that fell apart after a doctor agreed to administer ivermectin, but at a dosage the patient’s lawyer said was too low. The owner of Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, Tenet Healthcare, hasn’t commented on the case.

TrialSite has tracked the use of ivermectin, citing the drug’s effectiveness against COVID, specifically in India, where the drug has been used in several states effectively combating covid. Furthermore, TrialSite continually asks the question: if ivermectin is an efficient form of fighting COVID, why is it not approved by the FDA and continually labeled and derided as a “horse de-wormer”? Also, doctors have signed a letter claiming that JAMA’s study of ivermectin was flawed. 

Ryan Drock Tamara’s husband, who was infected with COVID, wants to get a law passed. “I’m hoping they name a law after her, so no one has to go through this. If she had walked out of the hospital, she could have had the medication.”

Unfortunately, with the constraints of the medical industry, this situation may happen again.
