If a looney, incompetent doctor prescribes high-dose curare to shrink a brain tumor and a nurse refuses to administer the drug, does a court have the authority to order the treatment carried out? Courts can rule to end unsafe business practices, so why would they be constrained to enforce unsafe medical practices?

I don't agree with it at all but it's not like this is the first time or covid infection is the only condition. Look at the Right to Try Act. Also Expanded Access. Don't know if either of these were argued in the case being discussed.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
