Even though the Covid craziness is long over, apparently the weaponization of the Texas Medical Board continues. In a shocking bombshell report via Texas Scorecard, the TMB is still secretly harassing local Houston doctor, Mary Talley Bowden.
"It's never anything I ever imagined I'd be dealing with" Dr. Bowden said, "The punishment is the process, I think that's their goal."
Basically, this all goes back to her feud with Houston Methodist, which forced her to resign because of her criticism of the handling of Covid. It turns out, everything doctor Bowden (and many others) said was all true, and the medical establishment was completely wrong. But instead of apologizing, and admitting they were wrong, the TMB is still trying to punish her, and scar her record.
"It's just a battle at this point" Dr. Bowden told KTRH, "The more they dig in, the more I dig in, and I get public about it which makes them mad. They're just not going to back down."
As a result, this dispute will likely drag on for years. Thankfully, there is now growing support in the Texas legislature to try and find a way to stop the weaponization, of the TMB, which continues to hide it's unethical actions.
"There's really no valid reason that it should be confidential, other than they don't want me going on X and making them look bad" noted Dr. Bowden, "We've got to change the policies so that going forward, they're not given the ability to abuse their powers the way that they are doing."
Which may require Governor Greg Abbott to get involved, as well.
