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.

It does become difficult to practice without privileges.
No, but a doctor needs to have a medical facility that can accept her patients that need hospitalization, and allow her to continue to treat them while at the hospital.
In Texas it severely limits ones' practice if it is not permitted.
If she treats respiratory issues such as asthma and emphysema, or if she is certified for surgery, she will need hospital privileges.
She can make money treating vaxxinated who have had adverse affects.
Because the court ruled that business are individuals or a person, With campaign finance. How then can that individual order me or you to do something, or not do something, that someone doesn't wanted or needed. Just because you get a paycheck from someone doesn't mean they own you
A Nation wide network of These “Resisters” is what’s
Needed!

You have to have a gulag account, to leave a review.
No, not the same thing.
It just means she cannot admit patients, into Methodist, for surgery, etc.
I wish this brave doc ALL the best!
Insane. Avoid this hospital.
If I lived in Houston, I know where I’d go for treatment should I get the virus.
Excerpt, from a letter this doc posted, on her practice website.....
Given the current climate and the writing on the wall, I am shifting my practice focus to treating the unvaccinated. In order to make room for unvaccinated who cannot find care, I will not be accepting new patients with routine ENT problems who are vaccinated. I will continue to care for established patients, vaccinated or not, and would never turn anyone away with a life-threatening illness based on their vaccination status. But this is my way of taking a stand, and I hope other physicians will follow.
I am not anti-vaccination, but all the data I have collected suggests that the vaccine is not working. 42% of the patients we treated last month with IV monoclonal antibodies for symptomatic COVID-19 were fully vaccinated. I believe vaccination is a personal choice and like everything else in medicine, should be protected by HIPAA. I understand this alienates many of you, but all my opinions are based on my clinical experience and not the news.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best,
Mary Talley Bowden MD
