The Retribution from the Left Never Ends

The Left is now notorious for the lies and deceptions that it propagates, and its specialty is destroying anyone who gets in its way. A timely example is Dr. Eithan Haim, who spoke out against a hospital that was pursuing banned transgender practices. As a result of his actions, the hospital and its doctors decided they were entitled to take revenge---and Dr. Haim is fighting back :

Elon Musk is funding a lawsuit from the Texas doctor who is accusing Texas Children’s Hospital and multiple physicians of crafting ‘malicious’ lies about him to destroy his career as they attempted to cover up their efforts to transition children. Dr. Eithan Haim blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital in May 2023, unveiling proof that the hospital had lied about ending its transgender medical program and was still performing attempted transition procedures on children as young as 11. His disclosures showed the hospital was breaking the law, as Texas had just passed a bipartisan law to ban the procedures.

But the doctors at the hospital couldn’t tolerate Dr. Haim’s ethical behavior, so they took the most abhorrent path possible: they set out to lie about him and destroy his reputation through rumors. X/Elon Musk and Dr. Haim included in this lawsuit are Texas Children’s Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Hollier Jr., a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Kristy Rialon, an associate professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and pediatric surgeon at Texas Children’s, and Afsheen Davis, the general counsel for Texas Children’s.

How detestable were their accusations against Haim? These are some of the statements from Haim’s lawsuit:

Hollier was the key witness who ‘knowingly lied’ to federal authorities at HHS, FBI, and DOJ to ‘fabricate a story that would serve as the predicate for the criminal investigation and eventual prosecution’ against Haim, the lawsuit states. Rialon posted a number of ‘anonymous defamatory reviews’ on Haim’s public WebMD profile while he was still an anonymous whistleblower and his identity had not been made public. Her reviews, according to the lawsuit, ‘accused him of mutilating and raping his patients.’ In one post, she pretended to be a female patient who had been raped by Haim.

The damage to Haim’s career is incalculable and may be impossible to repair:

Further, while Haim is no longer at risk of prosecution, the professional harm from his ordeal lingers on, as do threats to his life, imposing on him ongoing security costs. ‘Dr. Haim’s budding reputation and career as a surgeon were severely damaged as a direct result of Defendants’ unconscionable and vindictive conduct. Having moved to Rockwall County in September 2023, Dr. Haim was embarking on a promising career,’ the suit says. ‘However, because of the pretextual investigation and sham prosecution against him, Dr. Haim has been blacklisted from major hospitals and surgical practices, unable to obtain valuable credentialing or privileges despite being otherwise qualified.’

The lawsuit does not address, of course, the horrible damage that has been done by these doctors to children who are likely confused about their sexuality and pursue life-changing procedures to reach a state of emotional peace. Yet, these doctors are angry that this mutilating and destructive form of medicine is no longer available to them. After all, it paid very well:

‘Gender-affirming’ physicians have also been caught on video admitting to more old-fashioned motives for such procedures, as with a 2022 expose about Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Clinic for Transgender Health, where Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor said outright that ‘these surgeries make a lot of money.’

As Musk and Haim pursue this lawsuit, we can only hope that justice is done.
