Mary Bowden, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Houston Methodist Hospital, says vaccine mandates are wrong.
It's a sentiment she has tweeted about numerous times this month, even declaring last week that she is "shifting my practice" to focus on treating unvaccinated patients.
Bowden has also used her personal Twitter account to promote the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a treatment for the coronavirus, despite warnings from public health officials advising people not to take it.
But those opinions have come at a professional cost. Bowden, who recently joined the hospital's medical staff, has been suspended for "spreading dangerous misinformation" and sharing "harmful" personal and political opinions about the coronavirus vaccine and treatments, a hospital spokeswoman told The Washington Post.
"The physician's privileges at Houston Methodist have been suspended," Patti Muck said in an email. The hospital granted Bowden privileges within the last year, Muck said.
Bowden did not immediately respond to messages from The Post late Sunday. But her attorney, Steve Mitby, said his client has treated more than 2,000 covid-19 patients and is "not anti-vaccine."
"Like many Americans, Dr. Bowden believes that people should have a choice and believes that all people, regardless of vaccine status, should have access to the same high quality health care," Mitby said in an email to The Post.

Notice they never tell show us the misinformation the doctor said. They just say it.
Texas Medical Board is criminal.
Have they pulled the license of the doctors who only work on the vaccinated yet?
I’m not sure a hospital suspending “privileges” to practice and taking away a doctor’s medical license are the same thing?
A good lawyer will enable her to take early retirement and become a patient advocate against Methodist Hospital.
Actual title: Hospital revokes Houston doctor’s privileges for ‘spreading dangerous misinformation’ about covid on Twitter
Hospital privileges are not the same as a medical license.
I understand the righteousness of the doctor’s cause, but her practical mistake was repeatedly posting about only treating a certain segment of the public. If the doctor had said she was only treating the vaccinated, we all know nothing negative would have happened, but such is the world we now live in.
Did you even read the story you posted? Her privileges at one hospital were suspended. Nowhere does it say that her license to practice medicine has been revoked.
I didn’t see the part where her license had been revoked. Only her admitting privileges to a certain hospital.
This has nothing to do with the Texas Medical Board.
Her privilege’s were pulled at a hospital with less than a year with privilege’s. A corporation changed a employee - employer relationship with zero public information. If you dont privilege’s get pulled due to lack of sending patients in or billing every month of the year at every hospital in america, it is more an malpractice insurance policy and 1099 contractor status than anything else.
She is a Board Approved Physician in Texas, there are other positions and hours at other medical mills and practices to be filled at the same rate.
THe article mixes what a medical practitioner got fired for off label suggestions to patients when a moving through a billing as fast as you can need was out there. Sure another dollars and cents change. Doctors are 1099s with their own policies, medical practitioners are W2s under the hospital’s insurance.
More info please
In fact you can look up her license which is active without restrictions.
Supporting Ivermectin is no necessarily misinformation. Nor is opposing vaccine mandates.
We need to all write negative reviews of Houston Methodist. Here is the link.
Sometimes doing the right thing is costly. Most doctors fail at that these days because they love their careers, their money, and lifestyles more than doing the right thing.
If enough of them put their foot down against Medical Tyranny, we’d never have gotten so far down the slippery slope.
This kind of story will be common over the next few months. We’ll see how many “professionals” decide what the right thing to do is. They can get a PhD but most fail ethics 101.
“Misinformation = Telling The Truth”
Wrongspeak!...report to room 101 at the ministry of love immediately!
Chest tres interessante (I don’t know how to add accent aigu mark).
Chest was supposed to be c’est. Darn autocorrect.

God bless her- courageous doc.
What if the Doc sues and proves in court that her information is accurate?
