‘Making Them Sick’: Texas Children’s Whistleblower Eithan Haim Testifies On Trans Medical Horrors

Dr. Eithan Haim, the surgeon who blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital providing transgender procedures and drugs to minors testified to Congress on Wednesday about the horrors of these medical interventions.

“I understand and I’ve seen the effects of what these blockers do, what these hormones do, and what these surgeries do,” Haim told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government.

Haim said he sees serious complications with transgender genital surgeries “all the time.

“We’re talking about urethral stenosis, where you can’t go out to a coffee shop and go to the bathroom because the urethra is narrowed so that fluid builds up in the bladder,” he said.

In males who have had genital surgery to create a “neovagina,” fistulas can happen, “where stool from the rectum can pour into the wound that they call the neovagina,” Haim said.

“A lot of them don’t see these problems in the first couple of months or even the first couple of years, but this is what happens.”

“We would take children to the operating room, and we would make them better,” he said. “But in the same operating room they were taking them there and making them sick.”

“They are destroying the lives of these children,” he said. “They’re putting them down a road where they become a chronic medical patient that they can never come back from.”

“Could I call myself a doctor if I didn’t speak against it?” he said.

Haim also told lawmakers about the Biden administration’s failed criminal prosecution against him.

Back in 2023, Haim went to the media anonymously and exposed the Houston Children’s Hospital for secretly continuing to perform transgender medical procedures on children despite the hospital’s public statements saying they had paused them.

In response, the Biden Justice Department sent federal agents to his house and charged Haim with four felonies related to HIPAA.

The Trump administration dismissed the charges against Haim shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mary Scanlon rambled about Elon Musk, child hunger, and guns.

Vanessa Sivadge, the former nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital who also became a whistleblower, testified on Wednesday as well.

“I witnessed how doctors emotionally blackmailed by telling them that if they did not affirm their child’s delusion, their child would harm themselves,” Sivadge told lawmakers.

“In particular, I was saddened to see young girls suffering from profound mental health struggles like depression or anxiety, many of whom had also suffered sexual abuse or trauma persuaded by doctors at TCH that hormones would resolve their gender confusion. History books will one day record this emotional blackmail as the greatest lie ever sold by the medical industrial complex to vulnerable parents and confused children,” she said.

Also during Wednesday’s congressional hearing, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said he believed not vaccinating children in Texas against measles was “child abuse,” but he did not say the same about transgender drugs and procedures.

Raskin also went back and forth with Haim’s attorney, Mark Lytle, who corrected several of Raskin’s statements about the alleged HIPAA violations.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mary Scanlon (D-PA) brought up a range of unrelated topics including Elon Musk, child hunger, budget cuts, unemployed federal workers, and even gun violence.
