>She's already on a ventilator. She's done for.
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - An Illinois family whose loved one was "desperately ill" and hospitalized earlier this month with COVID-19 says he's now home and doing well after a judge had to order a Naperville hospital to treat him with Ivermectin.
On Nov. 8, the family won a legal battle to gain approval to administer the controversial drug to 71-year-old Sun Ng, who had been on a ventilator since October 19.
Sun Ng came to the Chicago area from Hong Kong to visit his daughter and her family. He contracted COVID and within days was on a ventilator at Edward Hospital in Naperville.
His daughter, Dr. Man Kwan Ng, was desperate. She wanted the hospital to try Ivermectin, but they refused based on various national medical guidelines, which suggest the drug is ineffective.
"Mr. Ng is as good as dead in the picture, which was taken on November 4. And at that point the hospital still wouldn't give the Ivermectin," said family attorney Kirstin Erickson.
A DuPage County judge ruled in the family's favor ordering the hospital to allow Dr. Alan Bain to administer the drug. But the hospital initially refused because Dr. Bain is not vaccinated.
After further legal wrangling and the doctor presenting a negative COVID test, the treatment — a series of 15 daily shots — began in the evening of Nov. 8.
The Ng's attorney claimed Sun showed signs of improvement almost immediately.
"And today he passed a breathing test that he hadn't been able to pass in the last three weeks. And he looked more alert and aware. So I would say that the first dose of Ivermectin is actually working and is effective," Erickson said.
Ivermectin was given to Sun Ng from Nov. 8 through Nov. 12, the family said. He was then released from the hospital on Nov. 27.
Sun Ng's family says he's now at home, having fully recovered.
"My father’s recovery is amazing," Dr. Man Kwan Ng said in a statement. "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 hope this family finds a good lawyer and becomes rich from the hospitals blatant malfeasance.
A fine reminder that medical establishment and governments have been withholding treatment for covid
It would be great if it saved her, but I've heard nothing but bad things when it comes to the current hospital protocol to put patients on a ventilator and a drug that starts with a R. Can never remember the name.
Redesivir
remdesivir?
Yup.
The ventilator has a rate of success of about 0%
It would be great if it saved her
I should have specified Ivermectin.
so ivm is what RPG potions are made of? shit instantaneously and magically stitches broken lungs together and expells the fluid and nanoblades?
nanoblades
Yeah...
IRL the closest thing to "nanoblades" were the faulty batches of vaccine detected in japan, that were manufactured in spain.
Japan’s Takeda Pharmaceutical—which distributes the Moderna shot in Japan—on Friday blamed “human error” as the cause of metal contaminants that were found in some batches of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine which led to the withdrawal of 1.63 million doses of the mRNA shot from Japan in August.
According to Reuters, Takeda said in a new report that the Spanish factory where the vaccine was manufactured had discovered contaminants in some vials, but doses from the same production batch were allowed to be shipped to Japan.
An investigation carried out by Moderna and the Spanish manufacturer Rovi found that the issue was caused by incorrect assembly due to a visual misjudgment of the required 1mm gap between the stopper lids on the vials and the machinery that is used to insert them.
A total of five lots of the vaccines were affected by the manufacturing issue, three of which were shipped to Japan after passing inspection, before later being recalled.
The fourth and fifth lots were held back by Rovi after failing inspection on July 2 and Takeda and the Japanese health ministry were informed about the issue.
However, contaminants were later found inside at least 39 vials in Japan in late August and testing showed that the particles were stainless steel.
In August, the Japanese government suspended the distribution of around 1.63 million doses of the Moderna vaccine after the contaminants were discovered in some vials. At the time Moderna said that only 565,400 doses were part of the same production line where the issue was reported, but it had also pulled two adjacent lots “out of an abundance of caution.” After the suspension, Japanese health officials are investigating the deaths of at least two men who had been inoculated with doses from the suspended lot.
cant even trust me own noggin nomore.
