She demanded a hospital treat her husband's covid-19 with ivermectin. A judge said no

After her husband was infected with the coronavirus and entered an intensive care unit this month, Angela Underwood pushed the Louisville hospital that was treating him to administer ivermectin, the deworming drug some people have used to treat or prevent covid-19 in recent months.

She sued Norton Brownsboro Hospital after it allegedly refused to administer the treatment to Lonnie Underwood, 58, without a court order and supervision by a doctor with the authority to do so.

"As a Registered Nurse, I demand my husband be administered ivermectin whether by a Norton physician or another healthcare provider of my choosing including myself if necessary," Angela Underwood wrote in the complaint filed last week, asking the court to designate the unproven treatment as "medically indicated."

But a judge denied her emergency order request Wednesday in a scathing ruling that called out people who have promoted and supported ivermectin as an effective treatment for covid-19. Jefferson Circuit Judge Charles Cunningham, who said the court "cannot require a hospital to literally take orders from someone who does not routinely issue such orders," noted in his ruling how the Kentucky Supreme Court "only allows admission of scientific evidence based on sufficient facts or data."

3. Should have sent him home

Should have sent him home and told the wife to go ahead and administer the ivermectin as
she said she would do. One hospital bed open.

4. Put your husband in the garage or a barn and treat him as you wish, Angela

You don't get to override doctors' orders while he takes valuable space from someone who can be treated appropriately.

But a judge denied her emergency order request Wednesday in a scathing ruling that called out people who have promoted and supported ivermectin as an effective treatment for covid-19. Jefferson Circuit Judge Charles Cunningham, who said the court “cannot require a hospital to literally take orders from someone who does not routinely issue such orders,” noted in his ruling how the Kentucky Supreme Court “only allows admission of scientific evidence based on sufficient facts or data.”

“Unfortunately, the Internet has no such rule. It is rife with the ramblings of persons who spout ill-conceived conclusions if not out-right falsehoods,” Cunningham wrote in an order obtained by The Washington Post. “If Plaintiff wants to ask the Court to impose her definition of ‘medically indicated’ rather than the hospital’s, she needs to present the sworn testimony of solid witnesses, espousing solid opinions, based on solid data.”
