(FeaturedHeadlines.com) A nurse at the Texas Children’s Hospital is accusing her employer of illegally billing the government-run Medicaid program for performing transgender medical procedures on minors. The nurse, Vanessa Sivadge, claims that the hospital is also violating a Texas state law by performing such procedures on children.
Sivadge works as a registered nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. The hospital is committing Medicaid fraud by billing the program for transgender-related care, Sivadge said. Texas’ Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program do not cover surgeries and prescription drugs related to transgenderism.
Sivadge said that she was shown how to inject sex-change hormones into children, but later realized that she was performing “deeds of evil” and darkness. The nurse said that it made her sick to learn that the hospital was convincing parents and children to receive so-called “gender-affirming care” while secretly profiting from the practice.
Doctors with an ideological agenda manipulated parents into medically transitioning their kids, Sivadge said. The doctors told parents that their children would kill or harm themselves if they did not receive such treatment, according to Sivadge.
Sivadge also claims that the FBI agents came to her home after she publicly revealed the hospital’s activities. The agents suggested that Sivadge was under investigation for alleged violations of medical privacy laws.
Sivadge is not the only medical professional facing legal action for exposing the hospital’s illegal provision of transgender treatment to minors. Doctor Eithan Haim faces criminal charges for allegedly obtaining personal patient information without authorization.
Haim leaked documents proving that Texas Children’s Hospital provided transgender treatments to minors, in violation of state law. The hospital secretly continued to provide such treatment to children, despite a 2022 legal opinion declaring the practice as a form of child abuse.
However, Haim’s attorney contends that the doctor was acting as a mandatory reporter of child abuse. The government is attempting to prosecute a whistleblower, the attorney said.
Although Sivadge and Haim face potential consequences for shedding light on the hospital’s activities, they appear content to risk them in an effort to protect children from life-altering procedures.
