Description

A non-comprehensive approach to treatments like hydroxychroloquine for COVID-19. What criteria do we use when deciding whether to use an unproven treatment against a lethal pandemic? When is it prohibited, permitted or required - for the medical professional or for the patient? What if a patient wants a treatment and the medical professional thinks it isn't indicated? Not psak, of course.
