Ivermectin can’t be required to be administered to a COVID-19 patient by a Wisconsin hospital, the Wisconsin Supreme Court concluded on Tuesday.
A lower court judgment requiring Aurora Health Care to give ivermectin to John Zingsheim, an individual who was put on a respirator owing to COVID-19 problems, was invalidated by a 6-1 decision.
Allen Gahl, Zingsheim’s nephew, who had the power to decide healthcare choices, asked the hospital to provide ivermectin for his uncle.
But according to Aurora, “the usage of ivermectin in the management of John Zingsheim’s COVID-19 signs fails to satisfy the recommended level of concern for treatment.”
At first, a Waukesha County Circuit Court instructed Aurora to use the ivermectin; however, the court then changed its order to demand that Gahl locate an external physician so that Aurora could obtain the necessary certifications and deliver the ivermectin.
