, the Texas doctor who had her privileges suspended last week by Houston Methodist for spreading "dangerous misinformation" about Covid-19 on social media, has resigned from the hospital.
"I have broken free from Methodist and very much appreciate the flood of support I have received!" she wrote. "Sincere thanks to all of you who have reached out with kind words."On Nov. 8, Bowden tweeted that she would only treat unvaccinated patients at her private practice and tweeted, “vaccine mandates are wrong.”
The suspension stripped her of the power to admit or treat patients at the hospital amid the investigation. Houston Methodist said she had privileges for less than a year and had never admitted a patient.“I think based on their history of being the first hospital in the county to mandate vaccines for their employees, that they are using me as an example, based on what they have read — which I have not sent to them but have sent to my patients — and what I have vocalized on my Twitter,” she said.
"As a physician, I am personally offended by her behavior and by her misleading comments about COVID-19 and our hospital system," he added.Mitby described Bowden as a Stanford-trained physician who has treated more than 2,000 Covid-19 patients.
