Federal prosecutors dismissed charges against Dr. Eithan Haim, who had previously alleged misconduct in transgender care for minors. Haim faced allegations of accessing patient records illegally at Texas Children's Hospital, sharing this information with a conservative activist. This incident, occurring alongside the Trump administration's rollback of transgender rights, raises questions about data security in healthcare settings. The case underscores broader issues of insider threats and the ethical implications of whistleblowing, particularly concerning sensitive health information.
Federal prosecutors on Friday dropped the case against a Texas doctor who called himself a whistleblower on transgender care for minors.
The dismissal of the case against Dr. Eithan Haim in U.S. district court in Houston comes as the Trump administration in its first week has already issued executive orders rolling back transgender rights.
Prosecutors had said that Haim took the information and shared it with a conservative activist with 'intent to cause malicious harm'.
Why was he given access to the patient record system of a hospital where he no longer worked?
