If the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine should the hospital be forced to administer ?
It's his patient. Either fire him or suspend him. But if he prescribes it while in good standing, they should be required to uphold it.

Judge orders ivermectin treatment
If ivermectin has a role, it is early in CV19 disease course. Not when disease has advanced to the stage of ICU admission. If the patient's doctors are making a medical call for that reason e.g., the stuff would have to be tube fed d/t ventilation status, the judge is out-of-line. If this is an administrative decision intruding on physician practice, that is a different matter.

They also aren’t just ordering a physician to prescribe it. They’re ordering a pharmacist to dispense it and a nurse to give it.
Judge should be taking it up with the hospital. He has no idea how this works or ramifications of his order.

I don't work with doctors or hospitals in any capacity. I know nothing about this case. I could have guessed that was implied in the order and pretty much assumed it. Not sure your point.

The point is the pharmacists and nurses were not party to the case.
The fact that doctor has a court order is immaterial to them.
The pharmacists can absolutely refuse to dispense and then the judge has to literally override state statute stating pharmacists can refuse any prescription on the grounds of safety. It would be a completely separate suit.
Of course, if this suit was against the hospital and not physician, then the above is irrelevant to some extent, but it would still be interesting to see a pharmacist refuse to dispense and see which statute is “more equal” than the other.

Depends how close someone is to retirement. If I was close, I’d refuse to fill just to watch the fireworks.

This is a huge overstep.
Regardless of your thoughts on Covid, vaccines and ivermectin, a judge has absolutely no business telling doctors and hospitals how to treat patients. NONE!!!
the judge did nothing of the sort, all the judge did was force the hospital to fill the prescription
Hospital should have never refused is the 1st place and someone should be facing criminal charges for the refusal

Not in this case. Nothing worked for this patient except Ivermectin. Hospital withheld treatment. What other recourse is there?

They have the same reason the doctor would to refuse in the first place.
We tell doctors to pound sand quite frequently for wanting to do stupid shite, so I’m probably a little more callous towards that practice than you might be used to.

Why the frick would you not like this? If it works, it saves lives. If it doesn't work, nothing changes. Ivermectin has one of the safest profiles of any modern medicine. That leads me to believe that you would rather just let people die.

And this is what is causing all the confusion and consternation and doubt surrounding COVID. Ivermectin is a relatively harmless and well established medicine being used off label. Just like hydroxychloroquine, people are taking a stance that doesn't need to be taken just because they want to play politics with people's lives. And if doctors wanted to re-establish their credibility (Which, I admit, doesn't seem likely, since it's much less fun than Tik-Tok videos and shaming people for not getting a vaccine with ambiguous and diminishing results.) they would stop doing this.

There is a zero point zero chance ivermectin will help a patient sick enough for the ICU. This particular instance isn’t a case of refusing to “just try” something. It’s refusing to perform CPR on a cadaver.
