A leading Virginia critical-care doctor had his hospital privileges suspended the same day he appeared in court to testify in his lawsuit against the hospital for prohibiting him from prescribing a lifesaving treatment protocol for COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Paul Marik, director of the intensive-care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, discovered he had been suspended for 14 days when he found a letter on his desk at the hospital on November 20.
The letter was dated November 18, the very day Marik testified in Norfolk Circuit Court concerning the hospital’s recently imposed ban on his using the MATH+ protocol, which includes ivermectin and other nonstandard treatments, to treat patients dying from COVID-19. According to the Defender, the protocol “counters the body’s overwhelming inflammatory response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus” and has generated “no reports of adverse medical events” — something that cannot be said for any of the vaccines or Remdesivir, the federal government’s treatment of choice.
“Our COVID-19 protocol is based on the best scientific data available, yet Sentara claimed the medications I used were toxic and harmful, which is an absolute lie,” Marik told the Defender.
