A Superior Court panel ruled that a trial court erred in ordering a hospital to administer ivermectin to a COVID-19 patient against his treating physicians’ advice.

In the Thursday opinion, Senior Judge Correale Stevens said courts do not have the authority to compel health care providers such as defendant UPMC Pinnacle Hospitals to perform treatments that go against their professional judgment.
