journeyman folklorist: Asshole doctor Does Harm by leaking medical documents to Chris Rufo, is now charged with 4 felonies. (Calling this guy a “whistleblower” and Rufo a “journalist” are some good examples underscoring just how detached from reality this entire ecosystem is)

DOJ charges Texas doctor after he blew the whistle on gender-affirming care for minorswww.foxnews.com The Department of Justice filed criminal charges against a surgeon who exposed Texas Children's Hospital for secretly conducting gender-affirming care on minors.

"They wanted to intimidate me into silence using every technique the federal leviathan had at their disposal. But they failed," Haim wrote Thursday on X. "The only way to lose is to submit to corruption. It's time to fight back harder than ever!" These colossal, incredibly dangerous losers

"intimidate me into silence" lol, yeah what did he think "you are prohibited by law from disclosing protected information" means exactly??

they wanted to intimidate me into not doing crimes that are very harmful to other people but brother these colors (piss yellow, shit brown) don't run

"My client is anxious to get to trial to get his side of the story told. I am confident this will result in the correct decision being made." Even his lawyer is like yeah he’s fucked.

Like, this is a massive HIPAA violation, so something should happen, but has this been seen elsewhere than on Fox? They will lie about the FBI's actions any chance they get.

Researching this a bit, all the info seems to be coming from Chris Rufo, it's getting massive coverage in the right wing press, none in the MSM unless Fox News counts, and of course there's a GoFundMe. I would guess something happened, but we don't have the whole story.

that's Fox "News" for you... sigh

Hey, thanks for the heads up & synopsis!! I'm interested in this story (and hope the dr gets whats coming to him) but there is NO WAY I will ever click on a Faux Noise link.

Thankyou!

Hey, no problem! Always happy to make it as hard as possible for Faux to NOT get clicks for their hate.

WooHoo! Thank you very much!!!

Dude is looking at up to 250k fines for HIPAA violations, which I would normally say is maybe too much. Someone like him should probably at minimum be removed from any position where he could do any kind of harm to someone ever again.

Given the felony charges he's probably also looking at having his Medicare billing privileges revoked, so good news there at least.

Wow. I work in healthcare and have taken MANY HIPAA training bits. Did you know that you're personally liable for 6+ figure fines for violating HIPAA? Not just the org, YOU. Enjoy your new landscaping career, Doc!

What a piece of shit.

Yeah, HIPAA doesn't just apply to patients you like, doc. Hope this asshole loses his medical license.

I can't believe people have donated $364,000 towards his legal defense.

Transphobia is a lucrative grift

dipshit sitting in the bed of his truck in his scrubs looks like a dipshit

It’s the hot new bigotry, can’t hate on gays and blacks as much as we could and all that hate has to go somewhere.

I like the part where the doctor admits to the crimes and thinks redacting the names makes it not a crime

He clearly didn't pay attention in any of his HIPAA classes. Any identifying information is protected, not just names.

I clicked, so you don’t have to. Searches with the doctor’s name and “site:justice.gov” has no results. Indictments with press releases are often found there, suggesting DOJ hasn’t done a press release on this one. All the sites that have articles appear far right.

So this, combined with his having raised $340,000 for his legal defense fund, maybe point to him being one more right wing grifter?

Those student loans won’t pay themselves, Kristi. Especially when his party keeps complaining about student debt relief.

I live in Houston (which is where TCH is) and I can find nothing on the local news sites. This would be everywhere if it was legit.

They are...implanting hormone devices? Man, why couldn't I get an Implanted Hormone Device instead of using this lousy gel? Can I use it to swap my sex when I want like the gay frogs? Does it use the same chemicals we put in the water?

There's an archive link in the thread

"They wanted to intimidate me into silence using every technique the federal leviathan had at their disposal. But they failed ... The only way to lose is to submit to corruption. It's time to fight back harder than ever!" BREAKING: Doctor fails to diagnose himself with Sephiroth Speech Syndrome.

Lock him up. Americans have no right to privacy other than their medical records. The DOJ did their job which is to enforce the law.

Safe to say the only place this "doctor" will be practicing in future might be Texas, under the learned tutelage of that giant in medicine, Ken Paxton. Never a shortage of people out there giving the profession a bad name....

is it possible for him to get the chair?

Snitches get stitches

I’m curious as to whether he has put any thought into his second career?

Well, it’s FOX . . . .

Interesting response from the anti-vaxx crowd that cared so much about their personal privacy being violated through alleged HIPAA violations.

Here’s to this numbnuts never practicing medicine again
