Florida woman who sued for ivermectin dies from COVID<\/h1>\n

AP News<\/p>\n

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla (AP) \u2014 A Florida teacher hospitalized with COVID-19 has died after her husband unsuccessfully sued to force doctors to treat her with ivermectin, a drug popular among some skeptics of accepted coronavirus treatments despite a lack of studies proving its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Tamara Drock died Friday, 12 weeks after being admitted to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, Ryan Drock told the\u00a0Palm Beach Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He sued the hospital last month in an attempt to require doctors to administer ivermectin, a drug used to treat conditions caused by parasitic worms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the drug to treat COVID-19, saying it hasn\u2019t proved effective in pre-clinical trials.<\/p>\n

Palm Beach County Circuit Judge James Nutt rejected Drock\u2019s lawsuit last month, saying allowing judges to countermand doctor\u2019s decisions could set a dangerous precedent.<\/p>\n

He urged the Drocks and the hospital to try to reach agreement on their own. A deal fell apart after a doctor agreed to administer ivermectin at a dosage the family\u2019s attorney said was too low, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

Tenet Healthcare, which owns the hospital, did not respond to messages seeking comment, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

Ryan Drock, who also was infected but recovered from COVID, told the Post he\u2019s not giving up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping they name a law after her so no one has to go through this,\u201d Drock said. \u201cIf she had walked out of the hospital she could have had the medication.\u201d<\/p>\n
