Paxton Intervenes To Void Texas Medical Board Reprimand of Dr. Bowden

Rather than defend the Texas Medical Board, Paxton’s office is intervening in support of Bowden.

Attorney General Ken Paxton has stepped into a legal battle against the Texas Medical Board,  siding with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and asking a Travis County court to declare the board’s public reprimand against her void.

In a petition filed Thursday, Paxton accused the board of acting “on nothing more than personal animosity and spite” when it disciplined Bowden over her 2021 attempt to administer ivermectin to a hospitalized COVID-19 patient.

Rather than defend the Texas Medical Board, Paxton’s office is intervening in support of Bowden. The filing asks the court to reverse the reprimand and permanently block the board from taking further action against her related to the case.

“I will not stand by as Dr. Bowden has her Constitutional rights trampled and ability to serve her patients impeded with an illegal reprimand,” Paxton said. “Dr. Bowden has been a champion for health freedom, selflessly served her patients, and acted in full accordance with the law.”

The dispute stems from a November 2021 incident involving a COVID-19 patient at Huguley Hospital who was on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma.

The patient’s family obtained a temporary injunction from a state district court ordering the hospital to grant Bowden emergency privileges to administer ivermectin.

I do not know how any thinking Texan could vote for anyone other than Ken Paxton to replace our current, and totally worthless, U. S. Senator John Cornyn.

Paxton would be elected without a runoff if Wesley Hunt dropped out.

Ted Cruz was truly an exception when he had his runoff with the establishment politician David Dewhurst and won after being a magnitude outspent.

Her patients all are doing far better than those who ran with the herd.

The story didn't say how the patient at the center of the case made out.  He was in an induced coma and it sounded like she wasn't allowed to treat him, with or without Ivermectin.

Thanks, I missed that!

Later that same day, however, a court of appeals stayed the order. According to the State’s filing, Bowden was not a party to that proceeding and was never notified of the stay.

I read that as saying the patient continue to receive Ivermectin because the Dr. never knew that the court order had been stayed.
