Yes, I know. What I’m concerned about is a judge being able to rule on a course of medical treatment involving a drug not shown to be suited to the illness being treated and likely to be dangerous to the patient.
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?

It the treatment is not approved that that specific condition, then I would say no, a judge cannot do that. But in cases where a pharmacist refused to hand over a morning after pill, I believe judges have forced them.
Why is it so?
