I ended my previous article with this little gem from the British Medical Journal…..

The story that has just crossed my path – deserves to start with that very same statement.
I believe something has gone catastrophically wrong within our “global healthcare system”, a cancer spreading undetected, causing a rotting necrosis within the very system that was supposed to keep us safe from harm.
Time to see how many of you agree with me that “we have a problem Houston”.. Here we go….
Top ICU Doctor Suspended After Suing Hospital for Banning Life-Saving COVID Treatments
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Dr. Paul Marik said patients are dying “unnecessarily and unlawfully” because the hospital where he is director of the ICU prioritises expensive drugs like Remdesivir while banning more effective and less costly treatments.
Dr. Paul Marik, is a top Critical Care Physician – Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital Marik, is a highly published physician with 35 years experience. He has filed a lawsuit against Sentara Norfolk General Hospital over its ban on administering life-saving drugs to treat COVID patients, which resulted in him having his hospital privileges suspended. He learned about the 14-day suspension when he arrived to work on Saturday and found a letter on his desk.
The letter was dated Nov.18 — the same day Marik appeared before the Judge in Norfolk Circuit Court.
During that hearing, Sentara’s attorney, Jason Davis, raised the issue of whether Marik has standing in the case. To have standing in a lawsuit, Marik needed to show he had a stake in its outcome or suffered an injury. Sentara said Marik did not have standing to bring his case because he hadn’t been harmed.
“Obviously, patients who are dying in the ICU can’t come to Court,” Marik told The Defender. “Sentara hospital lied continuously and incessantly but at this type of hearing, I was not in a position where I could challenge the falsities.”
Marik’s Attorney said Judge David Lannetti did not grant the temporary injunction, but did determine Marik had standing to bring his lawsuit, allowing the case to move forward.
Sentara’s attorneys did NOT tell Marik about the suspension during the hearing, nor did they mention it to the Judge.
“Sentara expressly represented to the Court that it would not discipline Dr. Marik in any way for informing his COVID patients that Sentara was preventing him from giving them alternative treatments that are, in his medical judgment (and based on unrefuted evidence) safe, potentially life-saving and medically appropriate for them. Yet that is exactly what they did at the exact time it was representing to the Court that it would not do so. This was a materially false representation made to the Court.
Also contained within Sentara’s letter to Dr Marik hospital officials summoned him to a proceeding scheduled for Dec. 2 during which, they stated, “no lawyer representing Dr. Marik will be permitted and no recording/video or transcript … will be made…”
Marik’s attorney accused Sentara of failing to disclose the letter respectfully requesting that Sentara be held to account for it.” …. Sentara engaged in a blatant act of retaliation against Dr. Marik for filing this suit and for exposing to the public Sentara’s unlawful unjustified denial of safe, potentially life-saving medicines to its COVID patients in violation of Virginia statutory law and public policy.
Dr Marik’s legal team have called for a supplemental hearing to redress the new facts previously hidden from the Court.
Facts of The Case
Marik argues that the organisation is endangering the lives of its COVID patients by preventing him from using his treatment protocol, which he says has reduced mortality rates in the ICU from approximately between 40% and 60% to less than 20%.
Marik called Sentara’s ban on administering certain medicines for COVID patients “unprecedented” and “cruel”. He states patients are dying “unnecessarily and unlawfully” because Sentara Healthcare is “preventing terminally ill COVID patients from exercising their right to choose and to receive safe, potentially life-saving treatment determined to be appropriate for them by their attending physician.”
Math+ protocol used around the world to safely treat COVID
The protocol is called “Math+.” Which includes treating COVID patients with many drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which has determined the drugs are safe and effective.
Instead, Sentara recommends doctors use “toxic drugs” like Remdesivir — an expensive medication associated with severe side effects — because the hospital receives a bonus each time doctors prescribe it. We know Remdesivir increases death by 3%, increases the risk of hospital stay and increases the risk of kidney and liver failure. It does not improve patient outcomes. It is toxic.
Marik said: “This case is about doctors having the ability to honour their Hippocratic Oath, to follow evidence-based medicine, and to treat our patients the best we know how. Corporations and faceless bureaucrats should not be allowed to interfere with doctor-patient decisions, especially when it can result in harm or death.”
Marik said he could no longer stand by while patients died unnecessarily without proper treatment, so he had no choice but to file a lawsuit allowing him and his colleagues to administer a combination of FDA-approved drugs and other therapies that have saved thousands of critically ill COVID patients in the last 18 months.
Until September, doctors had been allowed to use ivermectin and the other medicines — ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) IV, bicalutamide, dutasteride, finasteride and fluvoxamine — to treat COVID patients.
But after the FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) warned against using ivermectin and other medicines for COVID patients, Sentara officials created new guidelines ordering doctors not to use the drugs.
Marik argued Sentara’s COVID Comprehensive Treatment Guidelines are “preventing terminally ill COVID patients from exercising their right to choose and receive safe, potentially life-saving treatment.”
According to Dr Joseph Varon, a renowned critical care specialist recently recognized by the United Nations for his life-saving work, the MATH+ COVID treatment protocol has achieved at least a 50% reduction in deaths from the virus in the hospitals where he serves as chief of staff.
Marik said he did not bring this lawsuit because he has something to gain, it’s because he has a responsibility to his patients and physicians across the country and the world.
“I think what they need to know is that the hospital is interfering with the physician and patient relationship. The physician decides what is in the best interests of the patient, and what they’re doing is unprecedented,” Marik said. “The hospital is telling me how to treat my patients, and it goes against basic Hippocraticic principles.”
Marik said he refuses to watch another patient die from COVID knowing he was not allowed to give them proven treatments that could have saved their life.
“We take an oath as doctors to do no harm,” said Dr. Pierre Kory, President and Chief Medical Officer of FLCCC. “I can’t think of a way of doing more harm to a patient than to not administer a treatment that you know can help them. No doctor should be forced to watch their patient die knowing that more could have been done to save them, and that is exactly what Sentara is doing.”
“This case is a test case that will have implications for physicians and patients across the country,” he said.
Analysis
It is my belief that the sacred doctor–patient relationship must be wrenched away from the faceless bureaucrats and the government/medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex. Doctors need to return to their oaths as Dr Marik is attempting so valiantly to do.
As regards Dr Marik’s claims about Remdesivir a timeline from the British Medical Journal may help to clarify how things work these days within the “global drug industry”.
During the covid era we have witnessed countless flaws in the global medical system it has lost direction and soul.
We have witnessed a wilful suppression of inexpensive lifesaving drugs and medicines in favour of expensive patented drugs and an experimental gene therapy mislabelled as a vaccine, in order to protect manufacturers from legal liability for injury and death.
I will leave you with a couple of graphics which may help you to reach a verdict upon who is acting with integrity – a doctor with all to lose – or unaccountable bureaucrats who hold this type of mentality towards patient care……
Will the cancer of corruption be neutralised by the Courts or has the medical industrial complex become too powerful? – watch this space.

I wrote my first article for Unity News Network on 30th December 2019, and I have been writing ever since – my library is now well in excess of 200 articles.
Alternative media is essential in these times of unprecedented censorship and mainstream bias, which has ramped up exponentially during the past 2 years. The overton window of “acceptable opinion” is growing every narrower.
Having a citizen’s log, cataloguing the twists and turns of life during these turbulent times is essential.
Thank you Unity News Network for allowing me a voice on your platform.
