Message from the administration of Northeastern Health System - Sequoyah:
Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room.
With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months.
NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.
All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care.
We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community’s support.
Wow. I'm like, so shocked and saddened to learn our trusted news sources may have been lying to us. That's never happened before and now my faith in them is shattered.
Seriously, it never occurred to anyone running this story to pick up the phone and make a 5-minute call to the hospital to verify this quack's story?
Dr. McElyea said patients are packing his eastern and southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, because they believed false claims the horse de-wormer could fight COVID-19.
“The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,” he said.
Dr. McElyea said the patients are suffering from nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and cramping, and that’s only in minor cases.
“The scariest one that I’ve heard of and seen is people coming in with vision loss,” he said
You'd think Rolling Stone of all places would vet their stories a bit more carefully after that UVA campus rape hoax nearly got them sued out of existence.
I thought another thread revealed this story was a hoax
It is obviously a hoax if people would use their brain.
So many ivermectin overdoses that gun shot wound victims aren't getting attention? Ambulances are frozen at the hospitals because there are no beds and no one to help due to ivermectin overdoses?
So stupid with those assertions. The lie wouldn't have likely been exposed had they made it less grandiose.
The mainstream media is propaganda. They'd rather push a narrative than vet obviously BS claims.
Oh, I believe in stupid people all right. Such as every news outlet that swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker without bothering to verify any of it.

It's possible to overdose on water if you drink too much. If you dose properly you won't have a problem. People need to have more attention to detail and read the directions better if they are going to use unapproved medications.
I came across more people saying not to take the vaccine today including nurses while on vacation. It's fascinating to hear more perspectives from the "little people."
People will not take a vaccine. A vaccine in development since the early 90s. A vaccine taken by over 5 billion people world wide. About 0.0020% of people have died after taking the vaccine but it is pretty clear the overwhelming majority of these people had other issues and the vaccine was not responsible. There have been a few hundred cases of myocarditis and Gullain-Barre Syndrome out of the 10s of millions of doses given in select people that generally have other underlying conditions. Bottom line is the vaccine is far safer than driving down the high way or even being outside during a thunder storm. A vaccine that has clearly proven to keep people out of the hospital and prevented death.
And yet .... and yet ....
Many of these same people will take street drugs including pot and opiates that have been manufactured who knows where with who knows what added. The same people that have medicine cabinets full of prescription drugs and that have no clue what is in them.
These same people that are terrified of a medically proven vaccine will take a cattle de-wormer. Poison control centers are reporting nearly a 300% increase in OD cases of invermectin. In Mississippi there was a 70% surge in calls to poison control that were related to people who ingested a drug meant for livestock.
Only in this day and age of lies and propaganda do you actually have to tell people NOT TO TAKE COW DE-WORMER and try to convince them a medically proven vaccine is a true health benefit and an infinity better choice than COW DE-WORMER.
Hell. President John Adams in the mid 1700s trusted early forms of vaccination to save his children from small pox. Now, nearly 300 years later, people are more ignorant than ever.

Also,
“Since the beginning of May, we’ve received reports of 11 people being exposed to ivermectin,” said Scott Schaeffer, managing director of the Oklahoma Center for Poison and Drug Information. “Most developed relatively minor symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness, though there’s the potential for more serious effects including low blood pressure and seizures with an overdose, as well as interactions with medications such as blood thinners.”

Thank you. There are so many fake stories circulating out there with similar situations as this or even worse (like completely made up hospital staff). Not surprised it was posted here as absolute fact without any sort of checking done.
