Houston doctor suspended for vaccine misinformation files $25 million defamation lawsuit against Methodist HospitalA Houston doctor who previously sued Methodist Hospital after she was suspended for spreading COVID-19 misinformation has filed a second lawsuit against the hospital.
The newly filed lawsuit accuses Methodist and Methodist CEO Marc Boom of severely damaging the reputation of Dr. Mary Bowden an ear, nose, and throat doctor in River Oaks who had her provisional privileges taken away last year after making claims online related to vaccine efficacy.
"Methodist and Boom retaliated against Dr. Bowden in an unprecedented manner. Without notice, they published false and defamatory statements to the press and on social media, affording no due process, acting contrary to and with reckless disregard for both the letter and spirit of Methodist's bylaws," the lawsuit reads.
The $25-million defamation lawsuit was filed in Harris County District Court Monday morning. During a press conference Monday, Bowden said Methodists decision to publicly oust her has forever changed her life.
I want to clear my name and hold them accountable. Every person has a right to an unimpaired reputation, Bowden said. Thanks to Methodist, half the world thinks that Im crazy and dangerous.

Half of the world is correct thinking that Dr. Bowden is crazy and dangerous. Dr. Bowden shouldn't be practicing medicine.

I agree, she has no science supporting her conclusion.
