“The day after we gave him ivermectin, [my stepmom] got a call and the doctor said she could not believe the progress that he was making. The very next day,” Shannon Fletcher said.

One man’s family took his care into their own hands when he was hospitalized with COVID-19. As a result, they believe they may have saved his life.

Shannon Fletcher, daughter of David Dentz, spoke with Liz Collin this week to share her dad’s story and long battle with COVID.

Dentz was hospitalized with COVID-19 for 208 days, one of the longest COVID stays in the state. Not until his family began slipping him ivermectin did his health begin to look up, Fletcher said.
