River Oaks doctor sues Houston Methodist for $25M after suspension over COVID misinformation

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a River Oaks ear, nose and throat specialist in private practice, on Monday filed a defamation lawsuit against Houston Methodist Hospital, arguing the institution ruined her reputation last year when it disciplined her over COVID-19 misinformation.

According to the complaint, filed in the 151st District Court, Bowden says she lost patients and was exposed to “public hatred, contempt, ridicule and financial injury.” Bowden is asking for $25 million in damages. She has hired Steven Biss, an attorney based in Charlottesville, Va., and Cypress lawyer Madhu Sekharan.

Methodist last year temporarily suspended Bowden’s privileges to practice at the hospital, after she made numerous public comments decrying vaccine mandates and flouting widely accepted medical standards around COVID treatment. The hospital, which also cited unprofessional language as a reason for the suspension, in a statement described her comments as “harmful to the community” and “dangerous misinformation.” Bowden later resigned.

Good, we need to take down the hospitals that emphasize wokeness rather than treating people.

Now we need some patients to charge Methodist with malpractice as it devalued medical treatment to individuals when it fired competent staff due to wokeness.

I hope you are right and  :amen: But given the state of Houston's courts right now I wouldn't count on anything.
