Arkansas Jail Doctor Reportedly Prescribing Inmates Ivermectin (The Deworming Drug) For COVID
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/arkansas-jail-doctor-reportedly-prescribing-inmates-ivermectin-the-deworming-drug-for-covid
Madison claimed in a county meeting Tuesday night that the doctor contracted to work in the county jail, Rob Karas, was prescribing Ivermectin for inmates. She said shed also heard from a county employee whod received a negative COVID-19 test at the jail that the employee had been prescribed Ivermectin. Madison shared with TPM a photograph of the prescription she said the employee received for Ivermectin.
The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette reported that Sheriff Tim Helder separately confirmed that Karas Correctional Health had informed him last month that they were using the medication. Helder praised Karas at the county meeting Tuesday night.
This is appalling, State Rep. Nicole Clowney (D) wrote in response to the Democrat Gazette report.
dear. gawd.

(21,646 posts)Is it a big city ? I dont know anything about the county except what people on twitter were saying about the county being very conservative . It appeared their actions back up at least some of their tweets.
Sorry if I offended anyone here by calling them backward

Inmates don't have a lot of rights, but they are 100% entitled to competent medical care. A fact that will soon cost Washington County a lot of money.

There is a checking system...well you think.. Regardless...The Board of Pharmacy in Arkansas needs a report filed for investigation...The State Rep...the listed Democrat can report to the Board of Pharmacy...Could go as so far to also report to the State Board of Nursing as you can't give an off the wall drug like this...their license is at risk...Pluss is not a medication in the Formulary for covid-19...
