When a drug has NOT been approved for a particular use (here, IVM for COVID-19, due to FDA corruption), then the doctor (and by implication the hospital) has to assume full responsibility, IF they prescribe the drug for a non-approved (so called "off-label" use). It's a profit and risk issue. Everything they say why they are not using it, is just covering their asses.
Also, IVM on it's own is not a magic drug. You need to apply it EARLY and with adjuvants like zinc, zinc ionophores, etc.
people who are already on the verge of being put on a ventilator might not benefit from IVM (alone) that much.
It's a travesty that the US pharmacists and doctors are hiding behind FDA bullshit and not demanding IVM to be widely/easily available for everybody to use EARLY ON and with the adjuvants / combination drugs needed.
In fairness to the doctor, from their perspective it is dodgy to prescribe things that a patient requests. They could be sued for malpractice and lose everything if they don't do it "by the book" (that book co-authored by the biopharma-insurance syndicate and the hospital administration) - this is how they are trained and it is usually a strict condition of employment. These people (gp doctors) push pills for a living - nothing more grandiose than that. Glorified drug dealers doing what they are told.
In this case, this doctor is (in theory, if not in practice) doing the prudent and cautious thing in wanting to discuss (with colleagues / lawyers / administrators) the situation before prescribing.
Sadly, this is just a neutered man in a doctors clothes. Even if he concluded, based on his medical opinion/experience, that there was no significant risk in administering the treatment his patient explicitly requested (and could easily do so in writing with assurances of waived liability etc. to satisfy the godless tyrannical profiteering bureaucracy truly responsible for this nightmare) - he could still lose everything if something goes wrong (risk averse/riskless/dickless pussy).
Just thought I'd try and devils advocate the other side.
If your doctor isn't trained well enough to prescribe well studied widely available medications how the fuck is he trained to prescribe experimental genetic therapy vaccines?
Experimental non-vaccine that doesn't work and killed all the animals in the animal trial? Immediate access.
Medicine that actually treats the illness you have? Hol' up, pal, lemme a make a phone call.
Profit! Kaching! $$$$$$
Calling insurance?
I wonder if the insurance companies themselves have insurance, for when the shit gets real bad.
their insurance is that everyone was forced to sign waivers.

Simple. Dont get shot.

He isn't! It seems like almost none of them are.
The TV makes the sale, and the clinic provides fulfillment directly into consumer.
No doctors were harmed (or even contacted) in the entire process!
What's the point of being a doctor, then?
