The Texas Medical Board is vowing to “vigorously” defend itself against Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, which is legally supporting a doctor who is suing the licensing board in an attempt to reverse its reprimand against her.
The board reprimanded Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in October after she prescribed ivermectin in 2021 to a COVID-19 patient in a Fort Worth hospital where she did not have privileges. Bowden asked the board to reconsider its finding, but the board issued a final order upholding its decision in December. Bowden then sued the medical board in January to have the reprimand overturned.
