More Hospitals Sued Over Right to Try Ivermectin
— More hospitals see lawsuits from family members of COVID-19 patients
seeking the drug
by Jennifer Henderson, Enterprise & Investigative Writer, MedPage Today
September 1, 2021
As hospitals continue to admit COVID-19 patients, some are contending with
demands from family members to attempt to treat their loved ones with
ivermectin.
Just last week, the CDC warned healthcare professionals to steer patients
away from the drug. But that hasn't stopped the pressure on hospitals, and
the outcomes of new legal cases to force hospitals to provide the drug to
struggling, ventilated patients have been mixed.
In the case of Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, Illinois, a Sangamon
County judge earlier this week ruled in favor of the hospital, the State
Journal-Register reported.
Anita Clouse had sought to force Memorial Medical Center, part of Memorial
Health System, to allow her husband, Randy Clouse, 61, to receive ivermectin
, the State Journal-Register reported. Ralph Lorigo, a New York lawyer who
represents Anita and has also taken on a bevy of other ivermectin cases,
said in a court hearing that "she should have a right to try to save her
husband."
However, Memorial Medical Center countered in court documents that Randy
Clouse's condition was improving, and that he no longer had an active COVID
infection, the State Journal-Register reported. The hospital further said
that Clouse's physicians "believe administration of ivermectin will likely
result in kidney and lung damage, which can lead to organ failure and death."
Randy and Anita Clouse were both unvaccinated and contracted COVID in July,
the State Journal-Register reported. Anita had only mild symptoms, but Randy
was admitted to the hospital shortly after he tested positive, and has
since been placed on a ventilator and started on dialysis, the State Journal
-Register reported, citing court documents.
Anita Clouse told the State Journal-Register that she and her husband knew
about ivermectin before it was discussed by Fox News commentators because
the couple bred German Shepherds and had given the drug to their dogs for
parasites. She said that her husband previously told her he would want to
receive the drug should he become sick with COVID.
Though the courts sided with the hospital in the Springfield case, a judge
in Cincinnati, Ohio recently ruled in favor of a patient's family.
Last week, a Butler County judge ordered West Chester Hospital, part of the
University of Cincinnati (UC Health) network, to provide Jeffrey Smith, 51,
with ivermectin, the Ohio Capital Journal reported. In that case, Jeffrey's
wife, Julie Smith, found ivermectin on her own and filed suit against the
hospital. Julie is also represented by Lorigo.
The Ohio Capital Journal reported that court records show Jeffrey Smith
contracted COVID in July, was subsequently admitted to the hospital, and
placed on a ventilator at the beginning of August. It is not clear whether
he was vaccinated.
Court records in the case against West Chester Hospital further show that
Julie Smith reached out to Fred Wagshul, MD, who prescribed ivermectin to
her husband before the hospital refused to provide it, according to the Ohio
Capital Journal. Wagshul is listed in the suit as a founding physician of
the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, which as MedPage Today
previously reported, has long promoted ivermectin.
Though federal agencies have continued to warn against the use of ivermectin
for the prevention and treatment of COVID as well as about its potentially
deleterious side effects, proponents have pointed to purported success
stories.
Earlier this year, in another case in Illinois, a DuPage County judge
ordered Edward-Elmhurst Hospital to allow 68-year-old COVID patient Nurije
Fype to receive ivermectin.
Chicago internist, Alan Bain, MD -- who administered ivermectin to Nurije
Fype (and prescribed it to Randy Clouse, along with other COVID patients) --
testified at a court hearing this week that Fype was weaned off a
ventilator and discharged from the hospital after receiving small amounts of
the drug for 20 consecutive days, the State Journal-Register reported.
Nurije Fype's daughter, Desareta Fype, had learned of ivermectin after
reading about its use in another COVID patient in the Buffalo News, the
Chicago Tribune reported. That story detailed how, after a judge ordered
Western New York's Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital to give 80-year-old
Judith Smentkiewicz ivermectin, her family and attorneys believed the drug
saved her life.
It was not immediately clear, however, what direct effect ivermectin may
have had on the hospital discharges of Nurije Fype or Judith Smentkiewicz.
Physicians say these patients may have recovered on their own, without the
drug.
The CDC reiterated in its warning to healthcare professionals last week that
ivermectin is not authorized or approved by the FDA for the prevention or
treatment of COVID. The agency added that the NIH has also determined there
are currently insufficient data to recommend ivermectin for the treatment of
COVID.
The CDC did say that there are ongoing clinical trials that might provide
more information about these "hypothesized uses."
Lorigo did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the recent
ivermectin cases in Illinois and Ohio. A spokesperson for Memorial Health
System declined to comment, as did a spokesperson for UC Health.
