COVID patient left for ‘dead’ recovers after court forces hospital to allow ivermectin treatment

On Thanksgiving weekend, Sun Ng, a 71-year-old man who spent 22 days on a ventilator with COVID-19, was discharged following a court-mandated successful treatment cycle of ivermectin.

NAPERVILLE, Illinois (LifeSiteNews) — An elderly, critically-ill COVID patient who was repeatedly denied ivermectin has made a full recovery after a court ordered the hospital to treat him with the potentially life-saving drug.

On Thanksgiving weekend, Sun Ng, a 71-year-old man who spent 22 days on a ventilator with COVID-19, was discharged from Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois, following a successful treatment cycle of ivermectin. Despite the drug’s efficacy, the hospital had only agreed to the use of the drug after Ng’s daughter, Dr. Man Kwan Ng, obtained a court order mandating their compliance.

According to a press release distributed on behalf of Mauck & Baker law firm in Chicago, the court-ordered ivermectin treatment was given to Ng for five days, November 8 through November 12, and he was discharged on November 27, having fully recovered.

“My father’s recovery is amazing,” shared Dr. Man Kwan Ng in the release. “My father is a tough man. He was working so hard to survive, and of course, with God’s holding hands. He weaned off oxygen about three days after moving out of the ICU. He started oral feeding before hospital discharge. He returned home without carrying a bottle of oxygen and a feeding tube installed to his stomach. He can now stand with a walker at the bedside and practice stepping. After being sedated for a month on a ventilator in ICU, his performance is beyond our expectations. Praise the Lord.”

I have an acquaintance who had an identical experience.  His elderly mother contracted COVID-19 and ended up in the hospital on a ventilator.  The hospital, however, refused to provide her with any therapeutics, including ivermectin.  The mother had emigrated from Africa years ago and had a relative who is a doctor and is still in Africa.  That relative flew to the U.S. to visit the mother (who appeared to be heading for the exits) and brought some of the ivermectin based anti-parasitic that is used pervasively in Africa.  This relative then surreptitiously gave the ivermectin to my acquaintance's mother.  When the hospital found out, they kicked the relative out of the hospital and threatened to have her arrested for practicing medicine without a license.  The friend's mother, however, recovered and is now off the ventilator, out of the hospital, and still very much alive and well.

Refusal to provide therapeutics such as ivermectin should be grounds for per-se medical malpractice unless the "doctor" in question can articulate a known reason why, in a given case, ivermectin is contraindicated.

Kamaji, that's quite a story.
It ought to be offered for coverage to a few right-minded news providers...

Surely the hospital learned a lesson and began administering ivermectin to all its Covid patients, saving hundreds of lives.  Right?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

In a sane world they would have.  Sanity is no longer the presumed state of affairs, however.
