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, a 34-year-old surgeon, took the information and shared it with a conservative activist with “intent to cause malicious harm” to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, one of the nation’s largest pediatric hospitals.

Haim works in the Dallas area but had previously worked at Texas Children’s Hospital as part of his residency. The indictment alleged that Haim asked to reactivate his login there and in 2023 began accessing information on pediatric patients not under his care and then turned it over to a media contact.

    See…if " the AI company" has access to the data, instead of the hospital using a local implementation of said AI, they’ve already failed according to Hipaa

            I think you’re a member of the public. And when the public cedes power to despots, they take it willingly.

              What exactly do you expect me to do about all of the laws Trump has already violated in the past week? Tell me in specific what I am supposed to do about it.

                  You think if I personally stop talking about him breaking the law, he’ll stop breaking the law? Really? You really think that?

                    You’ve missed my entire point. I’m not going to request myself again.
