A hospital system in Oklahoma responded to a Rolling Stone article that claimed hospital emergency rooms in Oklahoma were turning away gunshot victims due to ivermectin overdose patients, saying that it has not treated patients due to complications from taking the drug.
Rolling Stone on Sunday issued an update to its article, which included the statement from a local hospital denying the claims.
The report sourced a local KFOR article that itself cited Oklahoma ER doctor Dr. Jason McElyea who claimed that people overdosing on farm-grade ivermectin are causing emergency rooms to be “so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting” inside emergency rooms. The reports did not mention where McElyea had worked, but later, HS Sequoyah, located in Sallisaw, issued a statement that McElyea had worked there and refuted his claims.
“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,” the statement, on NHS Sequoyah’s website as of Sunday afternoon, reads. “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.”
It continued: “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.”
In comments to KFOR last week, McElyea alleged that patients are packing Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for full-sized horses to treat COVID-19.

In before the Gomer Pyle meme.
Career limiting maneuver.
Remember when publishers fact checked their stories?
Yeah, I know, I’m old.
Libtards prohibit helping or treating yourself even if it kills you.
Those lying crap weasels were trying for a two-fer: ginning up a plague of gunshot victims along with ivermectin flopaganda.
All propaganda all the time.
So the story was true except, you know, for all the stuff in it. Got it.
“My bad dog, that was on me.”
“Issues an update”
In the age of political spin, also known as LYING they “issue an update”, but if they were honest, they’d pull the article completely and issue an APOLOGY.
Where is the medical standards board in Oklahoma?
So ‘misinformation’ is Ok if you’re the publisher and you include a contradicting statement from the object of concern, even though the premise was false and qualifies as FAKE NEWS & UTTER PROPAGANDA?
Got it.
/s
Uncertain as to the species here !
but they are still running the LIE... just posting the hospital’s reply to the article up top
shameless
The Vaxxers I am sure are ready to pin a medal on him.
Is all the media that blabbed this 24/7 going to issue an apology?
And, they don’t know how to drive.
