Haim called the settlement a \u201chead-on-the-spike victory of the conservative movement against a golden calf issue for the radical left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were able to pursue this investigation, this civil process, and make these people pay in a really big way,\u201d the surgeon told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>TCH called the probe \u201cwrought with falsehoods and distractions\u201d in a statement to the DCNF. \u201cTo be clear \u2014 we are settling to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stand proud knowing we will always put our purpose over politics and that we have and will continue to follow the law,\u201d the hospital said.<\/p>\n<p>TCH\u2019s legal saga began when journalist Chris Rufo published medical records obtained from Haim in May 2023, showing that the hospital secretly transitioned children despite publicly promising to stop. Paxton had already declared such procedures \u201cchild abuse\u201d under state law in a February 2022 legal opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, Paxton launched the investigation that eventually brought about the landmark settlement. Former TCH nurse Vanessa Sivadge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/the-murky-business-of-transgender-medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">went public in 2024<\/a> about the hospital allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/texasscorecard.com\/state\/texas-childrens-hospital-whistleblower-tells-senate-committee-to-investigate-use-of-state-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">falsifying patients\u2019 records<\/a> with fake diagnoses in order to bill taxpayers for transgender procedures under Medicaid, which became another focus of the Texas probe.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s DOJ <a href=\"https:\/\/upward.news\/p\/exclusive-government-punishing-surgeon-gender-medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investigated<\/a> and indicted Haim with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2024\/07\/10\/hhs-urged-crackdown-on-so-called-whistleblowers-exposing-gender-medicine-video-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 backing<\/a> on charges of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scandal-ridden-hospital-to-open-first-us-detransition-clinic-in-historic-legal-settlement\/\" title=\"Scandal...Ridden ... to Open First US &#039;Detransition&#039; Clinic in Historic Legal ...\">violating medical privacy law<\/a>. However, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a ban on child sex changes in 2023 that withstood legal challenges, the hospital announced again that it was ending transgender \u201ccare\u201d that year and the Trump administration dropped Haim\u2019s charges in January 2025 after public outcry.<\/p>\n<p>Even after those wins, Haim never thought the results of TCH\u2019s legal troubles would be so \u201cmonumental,\u201d he told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever in a million years, dude, would I have ever imagined this outcome,\u201d Haim said. \u201cLike, if a year ago someone told me, I\u2019d be like, \u2018That\u2019s stupid.

Malpractice cases often rely on courts\u2019 interpretations of vague concepts like \u201cstandards of care\u201d rather than hard evidence of fraudulent records, Haim told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor juries, there\u2019s a lot of wiggle room in those cases \u2026 judges could just be like, \u2018No, fuck you, we\u2019re not allowing this evidence in or that,\u2019\u201d Haim said about malpractice suits.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Texas and the Trump administration putting TCH through the wringer, the hospital claims to have been exonerated by their probe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll reviews and investigations continue to support the facts \u2014 we have been compliant with all laws,\u201d the hospital told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
