Butler County judge denies Ivermectin treatment order for COVID-19 patient
Sep. 6—A Butler County judge has denied a Fairfield Twp. woman's request that UC Health West Chester Hospital continue to treat her husband suffering from COVID-19 with Ivermectin for a longer period.
Julie Smith, whose 51-year-old husband, Jeffrey Smith, was breathing only with aid of a ventilator earlier this month, had won a temporary ruling from Butler County Common Pleas Judge Gregory Howard on Aug. 23 that UC West Chester must honor a Centerville doctor's prescription and treat Jeffrey Smith with Ivermectin.
That ruling came after an emergency hearing and was in effect for only 14 days. On Thursday and Friday, Judge Michael Oster Jr. held a hearing to determine a longer-term ruling.
With Monday's ruling, the hospital will not continue the treatment of Ivermectin. It was prescribed for 21 days.
Oster said the legal question is "should an injunction be granted to force a hospital to honor the prescription of a doctor that has not seen a patient and has no privileges at said hospital thus forcing the hospital to give Ivermectin to a patient when the hospital's doctors, the FDA, CDC and the AMA do not believe Ivermectin should be a recommended way to treat COVID-19?"
