The US-based doctor who went on television touting hydroxychloroquine as a cure for coronavirus is said to have been once sued for malpractice after one of her patients allegedly died with a meth needle in her arm.

According to the Daily Mail of London, the family of Leslie Norvell took Dr. Stella Immanuel to court claiming her negligence resulted in the death of the patient.The claimants said Norvell went to the Sabine Medical Centre where Immanuel was working and was given only medication.

Police were unable to serve the doctor with the lawsuit in April because she no longer worked at the medical facility. The report said the police had no idea that Immanuel had moved to Texas where she made the claim that hydroxychloroquine is a valid coronavirus treatment despite global trials suggesting otherwise.

The 55-year old Cameroonian in her video which has gone viral claims that the anti-malarial drug would stop the COVID-19 in 30 days. He says: “I’m kind of used to these medications,’ Immanuel said in the video. ‘When they started saying it was dangerous, I was like, what? Because we give it to babies, pregnant women, elderly people. Everybody takes it. Hydroxychloroquine works.Dr. Immanuel’s video message has been shared on social media by President Trump and his son Donald Jr.“I was very impressed with her and other doctors that stood with her,” Trump told reporters Wednesday before traveling to Texas.
