carving out medicine as a little consumerist niche defense to creeping fascism hurts the practice of medicine and does nothing to forestall the broader social collapse.

If he's not on staff at that hospital he can't issue an order; it would have been advice or a recommendation after consultation with the staff. Medication and treatment orders come from staff.

There are other issues regarding scope of practice that are unmentioned in the article. Any issues of this type would be appropriately handled by Ohio's Board of Medical Examiners.

Yes, it would be a different story if the normal treatment in his condition is a ventilator and the family wanted to forego the ventilator and try the horse medicine. But where you have tried all the things one tries and the next step is the guy is probably going to die, it's not the same thing as trying the stupid thing instead of the normal thing. I think most doctors are hesitant to prescribe it off label even in the amounts used for humans because it doesn't seem to work. And I think there are lots of borderline quacks pushing it because it's the latest wingnut fad. And I don't think a judge would make the hospital fill the prescription if the quack wanted him to take 10 times the normal dosage. I don't think there are many judges who would make the hospital inject the horse cream,......
