Lawfare: Biden sends goons to arrest whistleblower Doctor who exposed children's transgender surgeries

[OKTexas]

You don’t have a right to access patients you are not directly involved in.

That is in and of itself a HIPAA violation and would be dealt with disciplinary actions by any institution.

Hence his whistleblower status.

[Marener]

Hence his whistleblower status.

.

He’s not a whistleblower. Nothing was illegal. He never spoke to any authority. He took the charts and sent them to a fringe right wing journalist.

He has no whistleblower status.

He has no whistleblower status.

And everything related to identity was redacted. And didn't you say he would be punished for exposing the hospital's practices? What was the hospital hiding?

.

That’s false. He disclosed their birthdates, medical record numbers, date of service, attending physician. This is all protected health information.

Anyone with his level of education would know that it’s not enough to just hide names.

I said it was illegal for him to access information on patients he was not taking care of. This would ordinarily result in immediate dismissal. This dope just ruined his career.

Hence his whistleblower status.

There is no whistleblower status. Federal Whistleblower laws protect employees from employer retaliation.

They don't nullify HIPPA protections. And they certainly don't prevent federal prosecution for unauthorized access of children's HIPPA protected medical information. Or its dissemination with a media contact.

First, his access alone was a crime. None of these children were his patients. He is alleged to have lied to regain credentials almost 2 years after he finished his residency, made copies of records of patients and then given them to a media contact. What he redacted before he passed them to the media contact is irrelevant.

The act of unauthorized access alone is a crime. They have records of the calls when he tried to get his access restored and lied about urgent issues with adults. They have credential logs that verify which children's records he accessed instead and made copies of.

He looks pretty dead to rights in terms of the violations of the law.

 

[Skylar]

Why, nothing he did effects his abilities as a doctor.

.

Because he can't be trusted with patient records.

 

[OKTexas]

Your opinion is duly noted.

Yet retaliation is being delivered with the full force of the DOJ, go freaking figure. The message from the xiden regime is very clear.

Exactly what patients would that be?

The doctor targeted by the Biden administration for blowing the whistle on transgender surgeries that were secretly being performed by Texas Children’s Hospital was formally indicted with federal charges this week.

Eithan Haim, who revealed himself as the whistleblower earlier this year in an interview with The Daily Wire, says three armed agents arrived at his door early Tuesday to inform him that he’s been charged with four felonies. The charges are related to alleged HIPAA violations from when Haim, as a resident of Texas Children’s Hospital, was performing so-called “gender-affirming” procedures on minors even as it publicly declared that all such activity had been halted.

Haim says there is still uncertainty about what exactly he’s being charged with — he’s been ordered to appear in court next Monday where his legal team expects to learn the extent of the charges. He has long maintained that he committed no crimes, and is being politically targeted.

The indictment was first reported by journalist Christopher Rufo, who was also the journalist who reported on Haim’s initial whistleblower claims. Rufo says nothing shared with him would have constituted a HIPAA violation. “For my own part, I can confirm that nothing in the information provided to me identified any individual; all the documents were, in fact, carefully redacted,” Rufo said.

A HIPAA violation regards patient confidentiality of the individual. The Doctor says he revealed none, and there would be no need to reveal this type of info.

I'm guessing this doctor is the latest to be politically targeted for wrong-speak. They're going to use a vague claim of HIPAA to try to punish him, even if this isn't how the law is used and there's precedent for it (like in the Trump lawsuit)

Pure unadulterate MAGA MAGGOT BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

It’s the law. It’s not ambiguous and it’s not a secret. Everyone in medical jobs knows this.

I doubt a TX jury will agree.

Maybe. It wouldn’t be the first time a jury excused a criminal because they agreed with their crime.

Happened plenty in Texas in decades past.

Ain't our jury system great!

This country has come a long way since white juries would acquit white criminals because they agreed with their crimes.

Sad to see individuals like you wanting to drag us back to the bad old days.

The law is pretty clear.

WTF are you talking about, this guy is a minority. Social justice dictates acquittal.

You want him acquitted because you agreed with his crime.

You’re corrupting the justice system.

Another clown show brought to us by the Bidumb democrats.
