Bowden’s use of ivermectin has been the subject of complaints to the Texas Medical Board, her attorney Steven Mitby told the Chronicle. She had been scheduled to appear before the board on Wednesday for a hearing to address the complaints, Mitby said. However, the hearing was postponed indefinitely, he said. Medical board spokesperson Jarrett Schneider declined to confirm that a hearing was scheduled.
Anyone can file a complaint to the Texas Medical Board about a physician, and the complaints usually are kept confidential. Mitby said he did not know who filed the complaints against Bowden, but that none were from her own patients. During the news conference, Bowden said the hearing was postponed because “there are now two more complaints, apparently about ivermectin.”Bowden is involved in at least two other court cases related to the virus.
