You’re allowed to say you disagree with people transitioning.
That is your opinion, it’s terrible and makes you look like a terrible person, but you can have that opinion and deal with the fall out for telling people you hold it.
Saying what you did, can be construed as you disagreeing with them existing.
Gender dysphoria simply IS. Nobody can induce it. What you’re against is letting children figure out the depression, anxiety, and other feelings they’re experiencing.
It’s not about the details of care, but the general information on who is transgender and who was providing or was involved in the care.
With the purpose to “cause malicious harm” as the article says. Which means, they will harass and try to scare involved parties into hiding, leaving or stopping to provide care.
This Conservative activist already published the information to discredit the children’s hospital, create a scandal on how they are harming children with the goal that the hospital will stop providing care in fear of bad press.
Their goal is to scare every trans person back deep into the closet (or to leave) and to scare all possible care out of existence, even when legal.
The basic motive is HATE. Plain and simple. Hate of that what is different and the need to control the people around them to live by their beliefs and moral standards.
Doctors tend to not take that oath any longer. Too much of what they do constitutes ‘doing harm’, seriously.
“Some say that the oath is irrelevant in modern medical practice because it does not address ethical issues that are relevant today.”
Editing to clear this up: I mean insurance companies stopping them from helping their patients and not giving them enough time to accurately diagnose their patients. Just to be clear I’m not talking about gender affirming care or abortion.
If Goebbels Junior here got the punishment he deserves, he’d probably become a conservative martyr and rallying point. Which I think would be useful for identifying others in need of re-education.
Multiple violations, because he released multiple patients’ info. Off the top of my head, I believe it’s up to $250k and 10 years per violation, but the jail time could be served concurrently instead of consecutively.
HIPAA seems to be one of the rare laws that actually results in significant damages. Will be interesting to see the size of the fine on this.
Likely the hospital gets hit as well for allowing him access to medical records on patients he had nothing to do with. Shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.
This guy’s career is over. I’m sure he’ll do okay financially by selling ivermectin to bigoted dimwits, but I doubt he will be practicing real medicine ever again.
Correction: his career has changed. He will be taken in as a consultant in some right wing think tank and start shaping the direction of the movement, because he “took action”
I have yet to see a EHR that has access restrictions that would prevent this. Instead it’s just logged and if irregular enough you get to have a hostile conversation that could lead to this.
Edit:
Haim, a Dallas surgeon, previously had done some work at Texas Children’s Hospital as part of his residency. The indictment against Haim alleges that in 2023, he asked to reactivate his login there to access information on pediatric patients not under his care, including names, attending physicians and treatment codes, then turned over the information to a media contact.
Okay, that’s just dumb. Texas Children’s Hospital is going to get fucked over this. Not only did he not have admitting privileges, he didn’t even fucking remotely work there. This isn’t just a HIPPA violation, it’s straight up fraud.
Yeah when I read that I was like, so all I have to do to get medical records is call and ask? Like I don’t even have to have any affiliation apparently.
Nono, his new career as a right wing mouthpiece is just beginning. He’ll be up on stage with MTG and Rittenhouse complaining about cancel culture and how woke has invaded hospitals and how you shouldn’t listen to doctors.
I was thinking the other way around. Pretty long for that type of violation, but I haven’t read the article yet. It’s making me think it’s probably data on quite a few patients which would, or at least should, give them a longer sentence.
The people that are desperately clinging onto the hope that this is any kind of victory needs a reality check.
In the extremely unlikely scenario that he actually gets jail time they’ll be high-fiving him all the way in - and you better know that any parole hearing he’s going to get (which will probably be sooner rather than later) will be staffed by people who think exactly the same way he does.
Hierarchy is the bedrock of reactionary politics - and it doesn’t get any more hierarchical than the (so-called) “justice system.”

Who asked you to “agree” with how someone feels about themselves? Yes though, this is absolutely fucked up.

An obviously totally unqualified one. And irrelevant, as it’s none of your business what other people do with their bodies.

🤡
For what possible purpose would he need medical records? It can’t be money surely.
For finding and eliminating the “vermin” the orange shit stain keeps screaming about.
So, are all conservatives blood lusting, self centered, self absorbed ass holes?
Elimination? He should be up on terrorism charges. Was he passing the info onto some sort of right-wong militia group?
You’re right, he should be.

Thank for taking the time to lay that out for me. I am unable to comprehend the motives, but that at least starts to explain it. Unthinkable.
Dude forgot his hippocratic oath.

Rot in hell, asshole
Fuck oaths, amirite?
10 years seems pretty low for this tbh
True, doctors should be held to a higher standard
If Goebbels Junior here got the punishment he deserves, he’d probably become a conservative martyr and rallying point. Which I think would be useful for identifying others in need of re-education.
Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.
What a clusterfuck of a HIPAA violation.
Multiple violations, because he released multiple patients’ info. Off the top of my head, I believe it’s up to $250k and 10 years per violation, but the jail time could be served concurrently instead of consecutively.

Until it’s appealed to the Supreme Court 🙃

Or at the very least, get this own alt-right podcast.
“So what were you doing doing this gap in your employment?”
“Prison wife”
…
“It’s not gay if it’s rape” said that guy maybe.

Wait what did Magic: The Gathering do?
yeah he should sign up to be the next
ronny johnscanrickyjackshamrockyjornsmanyou know, trump’s last docActivists don’t need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do, charge them accordingly.
Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim
Hmmm… that DOES sound a bit familiar…
Speak for yourself. If you believe that intelligence work is beneath you, the other side has already won.
Just 10 years for violating HIPAA? I would thing it would be longer
I was thinking the other way around. Pretty long for that type of violation, but I haven’t read the article yet. It’s making me think it’s probably data on quite a few patients which would, or at least should, give them a longer sentence.
Face so punchable. He’ll be popular in prison.
Sadly he’ll be welcomed and protected by prison Nazis.
I hope for everything he deserves and more, conservatives are freaks of nature.
First guess was Florida, second was Texas.
