Doctor Prosecuted Over Ivermectin Prescriptions and Social Media Posts

Medical Board Review and Social Media Activity

• 🩺 Dr. Mary Tally Bowen is facing a medical board review concerning social media posts made over three and a half years ago.
• 🏥 Two hospitals, Houston Methodist and Texas Hugley Hospital, reported her to the medical board, leading to a review of her prescribing practices and online activity.
• ⚖️ The medical board was awarded summary judgment against her, stating she did not have privileges when she sent a nurse to administer Ivermectin.

Case of the Dying Patient

• 💔 Dr. Bowen attempted to help a dying patient receive Ivermectin at Texas Hugley Hospital, which led to a lawsuit against the hospital by the patient's wife.
• 📜 A court order was obtained to administer Ivermectin, but the hospital appealed, causing confusion and ultimately preventing the patient from receiving the medication.
• 😔 The patient, who survived the hospital stay but never fully recovered, passed away in April 2023, having lost significant body weight.

Medical Board's Offer and Doctor's Refusal

• 💰 The medical board offered to drop the case if Dr. Bowen paid $5,000, completed eight hours of CME (Continuing Medical Education), and retook the jurisprudence exam.
• 🙅‍♀️ Dr. Bowen refused the offer, stating, "No way. I don't want to do that."
• 🚫 She did not receive a public hearing as the board filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted.

Physician Reluctance and Industry Influence

• 💬 While some doctors are becoming more aware of issues surrounding COVID-19 treatments and vaccines, many remain reluctant to question the mainstream narrative.
• 🎓 Dr. Bowen attributes this reluctance partly to the compliant and rigid nature of medical training, which discourages veering outside established lines.
• 💸 A significant factor is also financial, as most doctors are employees or tied to third parties that influence treatment decisions.
• 🗣️ Unlike most doctors, Dr. Bowen identifies as "third party free," meaning she does not contract with any external entities, which is an unusual stance.

Ongoing Medical Board Decision

• ⏳ Dr. Bowen is still awaiting a decision from the medical board regarding sanctions against her.
• 🗓️ No specific date has been given for when the outcome of the case will be announced.
