Court documents show Jeffrey Smith tested positive for COVID-19 on July 9 and was hospitalized a week later. As his condition continued to decline, he was sedated, intubated and placed on a ventilator on Aug. 1.
His wife asked hospital officials to treat him with ivermectin, but they refused. She then went to Dr. Waghsul, a pulmonologist who defends using the drug as a COVID-19 treatment, and obtained a prescription from him.
But at last week’s court hearing, Waghsul was only able to say that the patient “seems to be” getting better after receiving the drug and said, “I honestly don’t know,” when asked if continued use of ivermectin would benefit him, Judge Oster said in his ruling.
In addition, Oster said, Jeffrey Smith could be “safely” transferred to another hospital where Wagshul has privileges and continue the treatment there if his family desires — without forcing West Chester to do so.
