Dr. Mary Talley Bowden: "They targeted me to set an example and it worked. I mean, I hear from so many doctors that I'm scared to speak up and I was expendable."

"I was, you know, if I'd been the chief of cardiothoracic surgery or maybe the chief of neurosurgery at Methodist Hospital, I can guarantee you they would have pulled me aside and had a private conversation and maybe threatened me, but they wouldn't have publicly targeted me like they did."

"That being said, I have zero regrets. It has emboldened me. Once I got over the initial shock, it was game on. And I would encourage every doctor out there to speak up because it was painful at first, but it's changed my life. But I sleep well at night and I wouldn't have done it any other way."
