The Texas Medical Board is aware of intervention by the Attorney General in a lawsuit filed by Dr. Mary Bowden. In pleadings and press releases, issued after the OAG previously undertook representation of TMB, OAG made numerous inaccurate statements. TMB has provided ample justification for disciplining Dr. Bowden for attempting to treat a patient at a hospital in which she did not have privileges. TMB intends to vigorously contest these claims and will stand firm to ensure hospitalized Texans receive care from doctors who are authorized to be on hospital premises.
