'God bless you!': See families cheer doctor suing hospital for ivermectin ban
'Doctors decide what is the best treatment for their patients'A physician who also is a medical school professor is suing a hospital for banning him from prescribing the drug ivermectin to his COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Paul Marik of Eastern Virginia Medical School is under contract with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he is the director of the ICU.
On Thursday, he arrived at a Norfolk, Virginia, courthouse, where supporters cheered, chanted his name and held signs. One sign told of a husband now in ICU with COVID-19 who is being denied treatment with ivermectin and another of a husband who died.
With his right hand on his heart, displaying gratitude, Marik was greeted with shouts of "God bless you Dr. Marik" and "God bless you St. Paul, you go!"
He was in court Thursday to ask for a temporary order allowing him to dispense the drug while his case progresses.
His lawsuit argues Virginia’s Advanced Directive statute gives hospitalized patients the right to choose what treatment they receive as long as a doctor determines it to be appropriate.
The statute does not say "as determined by the hospital," the complaint says, it expressly says "as determined by (their) attending physician."
