re: #188 Dopamine Fish

Admittedly, the family got a quack to write him a prescription, so there’s at least a tenuous legal basis for the ruling. With that said, the hospital is undoubtedly going to ensure they get a liability waiver before administering a drug that is officially and specifically discouraged for use in treating COVID-19 and was prescribed by a physician who does not have the ability to practice medicine at that hospital.

This may also be a case where, because of a dire prognosis, the family is demanding a “hail Mary pass”.
