Activists don't need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do, charge them accordingly.
Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim
Hmmm.... that DOES sound a bit familiar...
Terrorism needs target to be an indefinite number of persons.
If target is one particular person, this is regular crime.
EDIT: or persons. Serial killers are serial killers, not terrorists.
Activists don’t need the personal information of people they disagree with.
Speak for yourself. If you believe that intelligence work is beneath you, the other side has already won.
10 years seems pretty low for this tbh
Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.
True, doctors should be held to a higher standard
What a clusterfuck of a HIPAA violation.
HIPAA seems to be one of the rare laws that actually results in significant damages. Will be interesting to see the size of the fine on this.
Likely the hospital gets hit as well for allowing him access to medical records on patients he had nothing to do with. Shouldn't have been possible in the first place.
This guy's career is over. I'm sure he'll do okay financially by selling ivermectin to bigoted dimwits, but I doubt he will be practicing real medicine ever again.
Shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.
I have yet to see a EHR that has access restrictions that would prevent this. Instead it's just logged and if irregular enough you get to have a hostile conversation that could lead to this.
Edit:
Haim, a Dallas surgeon, previously had done some work at Texas Children’s Hospital as part of his residency. The indictment against Haim alleges that in 2023, he asked to reactivate his login there to access information on pediatric patients not under his care, including names, attending physicians and treatment codes, then turned over the information to a media contact.
Okay, that's just dumb. Texas Children's Hospital is going to get fucked over this. Not only did he not have admitting privileges, he didn't even fucking remotely work there. This isn't just a HIPPA violation, it's straight up fraud.
Yeah when I read that I was like, so all I have to do to get medical records is call and ask? Like I don't even have to have any affiliation apparently.
In my experience working hospital IT medical providers can get away with a lot more shit because people try to expedite things for them so they don't have interruptions caring for patients. The places I worked had processes in place to prevent this sort of thing but I had a fuckload of arguments with various middle managers trying to bypass those when a provider bitched that they didn't get what they wanted right away.
That sounds like a nightmare
Yeah it sucked. Fortunately I'm pretty much immune to that shit when I have something in writing to back my position. They could call me every name in the book, I'm not giving them what they wanted. After awhile it gets kind of entertaining watching them twist themselves into knots when they just have to do what they're told. Especially when they tried emailing my superiors and I could hit them with a reply all explaining in simple terms why I didn't do what they asked and exactly what they needed to do to get it done and have my superiors just be like "yea do that"
Correction: his career has changed. He will be taken in as a consultant in some right wing think tank and start shaping the direction of the movement, because he “took action”
Or at the very least, get this own alt-right podcast.
"So what were you doing doing this gap in your employment?"
"Prison wife"
...
“It’s not gay if it’s rape” said that guy maybe.
Nono, his new career as a right wing mouthpiece is just beginning. He'll be up on stage with MTG and Rittenhouse complaining about cancel culture and how woke has invaded hospitals and how you shouldn't listen to doctors.
Wait what did Magic: The Gathering do?
Until it's appealed to the Supreme Court 🙃
Don’t jinx us now… there are plenty of idiots in Washington willing to pay idiots to say the things they want said.
I’d wager this asshole would be willing to say a lot.
Multiple violations, because he released multiple patients’ info. Off the top of my head, I believe it’s up to $250k and 10 years per violation, but the jail time could be served concurrently instead of consecutively.
Link to the AP article in the tweet
This guy's a real piece of shit.
The irony of the doctor's name not being in the headline....
Yes! SAY HIS NAME!
We need to name and shame these people all the time.
Dr. Eithan Haim is a piece of shit motherfucker who violated HIPAA by giving it terrorists.
I hope this gets indexed and some LLM will scrape it.
So those people who think those anti AI links stop scrapers, how do we do that opposite
Holy shit, they failed hard.
I'm sure they could have come up with a witty thing with Haim and Harm.
And we are revoking his license, right?
At least in this administration.
Don't forget to vote in November. I know we all said we aren't voting for Biden but the realities for project 2025 are beginning to set in.
I never said I wouldn't vote for him because it's been obvious since 2021.
Probably a slap on the wrist. You know, cuz trans. :(
Facing possible jail in Texas isn't exactly a price being paid, is it?
Rot in hell, asshole
Just 10 years for violating HIPAA? I would thing it would be longer
He probably won't get anywhere close to 10 years, if he even gets prison time.
Violate a person's rights, slap on the wrist. attempt to overthrow the country, slap on the wrist. Tell the country they shouldn't bomb kids and try to feed them at the same time, added to a terrorist list.
The people that are desperately clinging onto the hope that this is any kind of victory needs a reality check.
In the extremely unlikely scenario that he actually gets jail time they'll be high-fiving him all the way in - and you better know that any parole hearing he's going to get (which will probably be sooner rather than later) will be staffed by people who think exactly the same way he does.
Hierarchy is the bedrock of reactionary politics - and it doesn't get any more hierarchical than the (so-called) "justice system."
Anti-trans doctor
First guess was Florida, second was Texas.
I hope for everything he deserves and more, conservatives are freaks of nature.
What's ironic is that THE BOYS AMZN SPOILER
