I can't believe we live in a country where the government is getting involved in silencing citizens who are political dissidents.

Who are the doctors who administered "gender-affirming" (child-abusing) "care" when the practice was outlawed by the state of Texas? Who are the nurses who participated? Who falsified records?

Who are the hospital administrators responsible for a conspiracy to commit numerous offenses? How many cases are there and what is the penalty for each separate crime? It seems to me that TCH ought to be taken to pieces and put together again with new administrators and staff, while the Texan state penitentiary system should be able to open a pediatric care ward as a public service (if anyone wants to submit their children to the tender mercies of convicted child abusers).

How dare Dr. Haim blow the whistle. How dare he not want already mentally damaged individuals not be damaged even further, this time irreversibly and physically. Persecution via the legal system has to stop.

Awful that this doctor is facing bogus charges. Welcome to Biden’s Peru.

TCH is affiliated with Baylor's Medical School, and, as an academic institution, I am pretty sure it has a system for whistleblowing under some level of protection (the actual efficacy depending on how corrupt the institution is). Let's just say I know someone who did it once and it worked. So that's what this young doctor should have done first, THEN go public. And definitely not - what seems to have happened here - giving actual patient files, even with identifying information redacted, to an outside agent.

Again, without knowing what actually transpired, when registered users logs into a medical record system, every one of their actions is recorded. Every access to every patent file is recorded, every action (orders, etc) as well as actions like printing or copying. So it was probably not a very difficult thing to deduce the identity of the person who had accessed those patient records. In addition, in order to become authorized to use those systems the user has to agree that patient records will be accessed only on an "as needed" basis, "need" meaning patient care. If Dr Haim accessed patient records for reasons other than patient care (i.e. giving them to a journalist) then he tripped up on yet another rule.

Good intentions, and I feel for this young man but he should have talked to layers before he made the first step.

These irreversible gender treatments of children should be permanently banned at the federal level, full stop. If the Republicans take over next year, will they have the courage to do what’s right?

He's not being indicted by the state, but by the federal Department of Justice.

It was the hospital which committed the malpractice and likely snitched on him to the feds.

Criminal charges for exposing a crime? I imagine a conservative legal foundation would loooooove to take up a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit for violating this doctor's civil rights. I'm a liberal, non-woke division, and find that prosecution absolutely outrageous. I hope he sues and wins.
