The Washington State Medical Commission charged Dr. Michael Turner – a Stanford and Harvard graduate – with unprofessional conduct after he prescribed ivermectin to an older telehealth patient. Should licensed physicians be allowed to prescribe medications for off-label uses without fear of punishment from medical boards?

Dr. Michael Turner is a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. He’s a graduate of Stanford University and received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School.
