Dr. Mary Talley Bowden recounts fighting for a patient, a father of six, who spent a month intubated with Covid while the hospital moved to place him in hospice. His wife sued to let him try ivermectin, and Bowden testified on his behalf. They won the lawsuit and a court ordered the hospital to grant her emergency privileges, but the hospital refused to comply. By the time lawyers cleared the way and a nurse was sent to administer the treatment, the hospital had already appealed and won, the patient never received the ivermectin, and he died. Bowden is still fighting the Texas Medical Board over a public reprimand tied to the incident. The conversation also touches on how race factored into treatment access at some hospitals during the pandemic, and how politicized a basic medical decision like ivermectin became.
