The lawsuit filed in Washoe County, is seeking EMERGENCY DECLARATORY RELIEF. Nevada Lawyer Joey Gilbert wrote “The Emergency Regulation violates the rights of Plaintiffs and Nevada citizens by: (1) restricting the right of an individual to receive approved treatment for a communicable disease; (2) restricting the right of an individual to receive approved treatment from the physician, clinic, or person of his or her choice; (3) restricting the right of a physician to provide treatment to an individual with a communicable disease outside of a hospital setting; (4) empowering and authorizing pharmacists to interfere with the right of a person to receive approved treatment for a communicable diseases from their physician of their choice; (5) empowering and authorizing pharmacists to interfere with the right of a physician to provide approved treatment for a communicable disease; (6) restricting a physician’s authority and privilege to practice medicine; and (7) impermissibly restricting where the practice of medicine may take place.” The lawsuit goes on to state “The Emergency Regulation violates Plaintiffs’ and their patients’ constitutional rights to privacy—the right of an individuals to protect their health by making autonomous decisions about medical treatment with a physician of their choice is a fundamental right that cannot be abridged or dictated by Defendants and no justification was provided by the BOP that would warrant such an intrusion, not even a declaration by the Governor of a state of emergency.” Even though drug makers have produced over 30 million doses since Gov Sisolak’s March 23, 2020 Emergency order banning hydroxychloroquine, Gov. Sisolak refuses to lift the ban on the drug. Gov Sisolak’s Department of Corrections was caught hoarding the drug right after the ban was issued. Read the Lawsuit here: Dr lawsuit
