There has been a great deal of (seemingly warranted) scrutiny directed at Texas Children’s Hospital since reports emerged two weeks ago of the Department of Justice going after whistleblower Dr. Ethan Haim, a resident at Baylor College of Medicine, on charges of improperly accessing and disclosing patient information in violation of HIPAA.
In 2023, Haim told journalist Christopher Rufo that the hospital was continuing to perform “gender-affirming” surgeries on minors — a practice that was outlawed by Texas Lawmakers in September 2023.
The uproar over Haim’s targeting was followed by reports of a visit from FBI agents to a nurse from the hospital who claimed that doctors in the hospital’s child sex-change program had committed Medicaid fraud.
