Dr. Eithan Haim: Surgeon Alleged Texas Hospital Ran Secret Sex-Change Program For Minors, Risked 10 Years In Prison To Tell His Story – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 459
In 2023, the Biden DOJ indicted Texas surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim for allegedly violating HIPAA by leaking redacted patient data that exposed Texas Children’s Hospital’s secret sex-change operations for minors — despite the hospital’s claims that they had halted. Facing up to 10 years in prison, Haim, a self-described whistleblower, pleaded not guilty, arguing no patient identities were revealed. Charges were dropped in January 2025.
Eithan Haim is a General and Trauma Surgeon at Hunt Regional Medical Center in Greenville, TX. He graduated as a General Surgery Resident from Baylor College of Medicine and earned his MD from Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine. Dr. Haim gained national attention for whistleblowing on Texas Children’s Hospital’s illegal sex-change program, facing DOJ charges that were later dropped. Find more at https://x.com/EithanHaim
