An attorney can't do a fucking thing for you here. If you die you die. Exactly as 40+ Governors want it. If an attorney does you any good anywhere, I'd love to know how ...
Refer to smirking while peacefully MAGA. It's all about documentation. If not documented, didn't happen.
So what I would do if I tested positive for COVID:
Ask my doctor to prescribe me HCQ + Azithromycin
[DR refuses]
Ask DR if it is his/her own well informed personal professional decision, or if is the the policy of his employer or someone else for them to not prescribe the drug which appears the be the only available prophylaxis / early treatment.
[DR explains.] Dr. is f-cked either way.
Ask doctor to prescribe me brand name Viagra
[DR writes the prescription, because Pfizer. Woot woot.]
Say goodbye.
On way out . stop and ask Doctors staff for copy of the detailed physicians notes for the visit.
Let them know I'll wait a few minutes for the copy.
[Dr. needs to write those notes accurately during or shortly after visit].
Receive them. If they are incorrect, or "missing" any important details of the visit, ask them to make my medical record represent the visit and request/denials for treatment.
If I were to suffer needlessly in any way, whatever the Dr. writes to indemnify themselves is not enough. They risk that any day the efforts hide the truth about HCQ will collapse, leaving them exposed to lawsuits. And I would make sure they know this before they provided the visit notes.
If it's a HMO or big medical, expect to wait a long time and probably wind up talking to Chief of Medical Staff for some additional bullshit explanation. Ask them to include that discussion in the notes as well. Really if it went beyond my Dr. though (i.e damage control), I'd start recording.
Interesting process. Now consider the opposing argument that no Dr can go against the bureaucracy in place to keep you from getting HCQ. What you're saying could work where that's already defeated, but it'd be more sensible to just go to a Dr that's willing to prescribe in the first place.
A couple ways we could make progress: class action lawsuits. It may be that in order to have legal standing, everyone needs to do what you've outlined here so that's great info. The biggest problem is of course when people died that didn't have to. You're usually talking about a month or less, while Court dates are further out. So no relief to the sick that way.
Again, class action lawsuits, where the plaintiffs are the family of everyone who died a preventable death as defined by: got diagnosed, tested and confirmed positive, denied any treatment whatsoever until they were in such horrible shape they could be admitted to the hospital, and then nothing could be done for them. Named defendant should be the Governor! Governor of SD proved that one Governor can defeat the same bureaucracy everyone else faced. She also reduced the mortality rate per case by 12x as compared to the National average back when people were dying from this. The only reason that wasn't a 38x reduction is they weren't following Dr Zelenko's protocol, but 12x reduction is still very statistically significant.
This is only one of the many many charges our Governors are liable for. Other people may share some liability here, but Drs (and pharmacists) at risk of losing their licenses aren't the ones with the power to fix this. Governors are exposed to unlimited liability.
By the time any legal process works its way through Court, it's far too late to help anybody live. This is why our Governors should be physically removed from Office under citizen's arrest. That got harder after 5/22, what with plannedriots. It still might be our best course of action, but serious lawsuits would have to be in place first.
This simply is not true as it pertains to HCQ. Drs are NOT free to prescribe it, neither are pharmacists free to fill it. It has been singled out as BAAAAD. I almost have more respect for Cuomo coming right out and saying so as Official policy as compared to 37+ Governors including my own who hide behind medical boards pretending the Governor has no authority.
If someone actually needs HCQ and is denied, it will be their family suing, after they die. Which is why more drastic action is needed. Fortunately the rate of death has slowed considerably since 3/31.
