The Spin

Left narrative

If illegally accessing HIPPA-protected patient records under false pretenses wasn't egregious enough, the medical services Dr. Eithan Haim thought he exposed were for important transgender healthcare treatments for vulnerable patients. Through either ignorance, malice, or both, Haim chose to illegally reveal sensitive private and protected medical records. For those crimes, he's now facing the consequences.

Right narrative

Eithan Haim is a hero who exposed TCH for secretly falsifying medical records to continue its harmful transgender practices after promising to stop. TCH took children as young as 11 — who were dealing with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts — and continued its procedures regardless. Dr. Haiam's ethical motivations must be considered in the context of alleged HIPAA violations.
