Last week we spoke with Doctors Pierre Kory and Paul Marik about the War on Doctors and the lawsuit Dr. Marik is filing against the FDA. This week we welcome the incomparable Dr. Mary Bowden who is also a party to this lawsuit.
We will learn that when forced by Houston Methodist Hospital to choose between doing what is best for her patients vs. following hospital protocols, Dr. Bowden chose her patients. As a result Houston Methodist forced her resignation. Now Dr. Bowden is suing the hospital for hiding data on patient outcomes during COVID-19.
“Medical freedom has been hijacked by hospitals, big pharma, insurance companies, and the federal agencies.”
Joining Dr. Bowden on the show will be victims of hospital COVID protocols: Greta Crawford, Kurtis Bay, and Kelly Moore.

Is that really your suggestion? That we forward a link to our "local hospital," in hopes that they'll forward it to someone on their medical staff who'll follow the link and read it?
Yes it is, you are free to ignore it.

Houston Methodist's management are greedy sadists, and most doctors are helpless because they are now hospital employees no longer able to run their own practices.
100 % correct, it’s just that finally, it’s coming out more.
No patient is ever "forced" to accept a certain treatment--ever. I say that as a former cancer patient. You also leave out important details such as the type and stage of the cancer. For some cancers, depending on stage, platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation may be the most effective treatment available. There are no guarantees that the patient may respond.
Correct--and Houston has several cancer-oriented hospitals. Houston Methodist is not the only game in town.
The government provided monetary incentives for hospitals to lie and inflate their Covid numbers. The staff at my MIL’s nursing home admitted it. Government rules said that anyone who died and had “tested positive” could be counted as a Covid death, and the nursing home could get the extra government dollars. This included patients who died of cancer, kidney failure, heart attack, etc., but the nursing home could count them as Covid deaths simply because they tested “positive.”
Case in point: I have arthritis, but my local PA (he’s not even a real doc) refuses to treat me in any way unless I get a $2000 blood panel that my insurance will not cover.
The biggest factor is that you trust your doctor and the hospital to make the right decision. The person I knew and his doctors already knew his cancer would probably not respond to traditional chemo or radiation because he already gone through some rounds. He chose Houston Methodist because they had some of the more targeted immune therapies available. But they put him through chemo and excruciating radiation treatment anyway before starting the immune therapy.
PA’s work under the supervision of an MD. They see the patient, do the paperwork and make easy decisions. It is the MD in charge who sets the standards, approves the prescriptions and makes the real decisions. And makes more money.
A clinic with 5 PA’s seeing the patients may have only one MD who never will see the patients.
A Nurse Practitioner has more education and authority, and can work outside of an MD’s supervision. The biggest thing an NP cannot do is surgery, which I think all MD’s can, though they may not do it much if at all.
One man’s observation.
Currently have family member who has gone the entire cancer treatment route including expermental . Five years of treatments. Was told last week they’ve done all that’s possible to stop the spread but now it’s moved to the brain.
Did the treatments extend their life for these five years? I tend to think likely.
nice try but wrong,
PA PAs are educated at the master’s degree level,requiring a bachelor’s degree and completion of courses in basic and behavioral sciences as prerequisites PA students bring with them an average of more than 3,000 hours of direct patient contact experience, having worked as paramedics, athletic trainers, or medical assistants, for example. PA programs are approximately 27 months (three academic years), and include classroom instruction and more than 2,000 hours of clinical rotations.
NP All NPs must complete a master’s or doctoral degree program and have advanced clinical training beyond their initial professional registered nurse (RN) preparation. Didactic and clinical courses prepare nurses with specialized knowledge and clinical competency to practice in primary care, acute care and long-term health care settings
