Showing Original Post only (View all)Dead: Covid patient whose wife won court order for Ivermectin [View all]
Smith had been in UMPC Memorial for nearly three weeks and had been in the hospitals intensive care unit in a medically induced coma on a ventilator since Nov. 21. He had been diagnosed with the virus on Nov. 10.
His wife of 24 years, Darla, had gone to court to compel UPMC to treat her husband with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has not been approved for treatment of COVID-19.
York County Court Judge Clyde Vedders Dec. 3 decision did not compel the hospital to treat Keith with the drug, but it did allow Darla to have an independent physician administer it. He received two doses before Keiths condition grew worse, and the doctor halted the treatment.

She was looking for signs from God. She saw deer in her yard and thought it was a sign. Her mother-in-law saw turkeys in her yard and thought it was a sign. Praise Jesus, you've sent the deer and turkeys! He's gonna live!

That's what comes through. They are shocked that this could actually happen to them.
