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.
False… Any system that access medical data needs to follow the same HIPAA laws regarding information access. Putting that info into a database doesn’t absorb you of the responsibility of protecting that data, neither would giving access to that database to an AI
An AI can be hacked. An IT person working for the AI company doesn’t even need to hack it.
Doctors can keep secrets.
And you and others still haven’t accepted that they do not care about the law. I mean this story alone should prove that to you.
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
Once again- they do not care about the law.
Why is that not obvious to you yet?
And you already acting like they can ignore it without a care IS WHAT ALLOWS THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
Stop enabling fascists, please.
What are you even talking about? Who do you think I am? What power do you think I have?
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.
Your can stop acting like it’s all a forgive conclusion for starters. You’re literally assisting with the normalization. Fucking stop it
HIPAA will still and should get him terminated. It was not an accidental HIPAA violation for sure and HIPAA is one of strongest privacy laws. Healthcare gets slapped with fines all the time. They do not get ignored and most healthcare agencies have harsh policies around it. Ive known some incidents of fines, corrective actions, and terminations
The word you are looking for is absolve, not absorb.
That’s what I typed, my phone had other ideas.
