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...

10 years seems pretty low for this tbh
Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.

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.

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 hope for everything he deserves and more, conservatives are freaks of nature.
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.

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”

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.

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.

Actual and deliberate HIPAA violations meant to cause harm, mind you, not what a brainless antivaxxer thinks is a HIPAA violation.
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.
Anti-trans doctor
First guess was Florida, second was Texas.
Facing possible jail in Texas isn't exactly a price being paid, is it?
Compromising PII is a hipaa violation, that isn’t taken lightly anywhere. He may not get the full 10 years but he will be slapped for this.
Will he loose his licence for this? Because he should. Anyone leaking patient data on purpose should never have access again.
A felony conviction will result in him being unable to practice for sure.

What I mean is even if he was facing the death penalty or 1 billion years in prison, he hasn't paid, has he. The penalty has been added to cart.
Tangent: I have no faith in the American justice system, much less in any red state's "justice" system. He'll get slapped...on the wrist...using some mental gymnastics about whistleblowers or something like that.

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....
His name is Dr. Eithan Haim
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

Rot in hell, asshole
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."
