I have always struggled with the balance between protocols and critical thinking. If protocols are absolutely necessary, there needs to be a mechanism for dissent that is untouchable. The nursing code of ethics requires nurses to "go up the chain" as an advocate for patient care until what he or she believes is negligent or inappropriate care by other health professionals is addressed. As a practical matter this "code" is totally useless within any health organization, especially a hospital.
They need a Peter McCullough on call inspector general for this shit and total protection for whistleblower health professionals, even when it turns out they were wrong. And there needs to be a patient bill of rights that allows a patient to chose their care provider and to reject the protocol even in a hospital setting. FFS, if you have a "right to die" you should have a right to take Ivermectin.
