It’s good for horses but not good for Texas humans? How weird!
The Texas Medical Board has issued a public reprimand to Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a Houston physician who made headlines in 2021 when a Fort Worth hospital blocked her efforts to administer ivermectin to a patient with COVID-19.
The patient’s wife had secured a court order that allowed Bowden to prescribe ivermectin, but the hospital successfully appealed it. Bowden claimed she was unaware of the ruling when she sent a nurse to the hospital on her behalf. Hospital staff physically barred the nurse from treating the patient.
Bowden has also clashed with Houston Methodist, which suspended her privileges for “unethical behavior” and “dissemination of disinformation” on social media. A judge dismissed a $25 million defamation suit against the hospital.
Earlier this year, the Texas House honored Bowden with an official resolution, and lawmakers passed a law making ivermectin available over the counter.
Bowden said she plans to appeal the ruling and has expressed no regrets for her actions: “I would do it all over again, without a doubt. I’m actually proud of myself for what I did.”
