“I'm hoping he can get the trach put in soon, so I can get him out of there,” Erin Jones told me after the court ruling against her husband getting Ivermectin at Texas Health Huguley Hospital.

“I still have my faith. It will make Jason's testimony that much stronger.” Thread 2/

“We are not giving up and are working to get Mr. Jones transferred to a hospital that cares more about human life and patient autonomy than politics and control,” said Dr. Mary Talley Bowden @MdBreathe after the court ruling. (Thread 3/)

@MdBreathe Jones's lawyer Beth Parlato was shocked by the court’s ruling.

“This is a horrendous opinion. They basically concluded that nothing in the law allows us to overrule the hospitals treatment decisions," said @BethforCongress

She's appealing to Texas Supreme Court. (Thread 4/)

Texas Appeals Court: The law does not allow any court "to substitute our nonmedical judgment for the professional medical judgment of health care providers—whether we agree with their decisions, have serious doubts about them, or disagree with them entirely."

COURT: "Under the facts of this case, the trial court had no legal authority to intervene in Huguley’s legal exercise of its discretion to grant, deny, or limit Dr. Bowden’s ICU credentials." @MdBreathe
(Thread 6/

COURT: "the fact of the matter is that we can give the Joneses our sympathies and prayers, but not an injunction, because the law simply does not permit us to do so."
WHY NOT?!
