‘That Is Not Aloha’: Dr. Lorrin Pang Is Pushing Back Against His Critics … The Maui state health officer explains why he believes it’s important for doctors to explore all possible treatments for the rapidly spreading Covid-19.
Dr. Lorrin Pang says he has nothing left to lose.
The embattled state health director for Maui County says his reputation as a medical doctor has been “going down the tubes” since last week when he came under fire for supporting alternative drugs to treat and prevent Covid-19, drugs that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned against.
A state lawmaker from Maui called Pang a “quack” on the Senate floor.
A group of legislative leaders called for him to be fired from the job he’s held as the head of the Maui District Health Office for the last 20 years.
And the Hawaii Medical Board filed a complaint against him that, if substantiated, could result in the loss of his medical license.
