Dude was a surgical resident at the time, he's only 34, fucked up his whole medical career.
Reaping and sowing you piece of shit, enjoy the next couple decades of regret. ✌️
I know of an MD who was convicted of federal fraud, so I know at least one thing a person with an MD can do, despite being unable to get a medical license or practice medicine: they can work for an insurance company, reviewing (ie denying) claims. They need MDs for that, not actual licensed doctors.
I created a new Twitter account to monitor a few things and I got served a Rufo video where two FBI agents visit a nurse that is somehow involved in this and of course he framed it as "Government intimidation"
I work in IT and see my share of HIPAA violations. The one thing they have in common is they are invariably unintentional. (The most common is probably medical data being stored incorrectly.)
There is a special place in hell for anyone that would maliciously violate someone’s medical privacy.
Imagine throwing away your entire professional life to give Rufo and his army of dipshits culture war ammo only to be flushed because you're no longer useful to him because you can't harm patients anymore.
I wonder if he can be sued by the people he betrayed or their families? The only thing RWNJ seem to care about these days is being held personally accountable for their actions and losing personal wealth.
If he gets away with is, which Texas/5th Circuit/current SC is a maybe, no medical hospital is going to let someone who violated HIPAA that flagrantly in their OR. Might make it in the right-wing grifter circuit, but absolutely flushed 8 years of college and 8 of residency down the toilet.
ahhh, but, for one brief, shining moment, he felt truly based. Surely that's worth 10 yrs of edu, about a quarter mill in edu costs and a whole career. Right?
Of all the ways to fuck up your burgeoning medical career, major HIPAA violations must be the absolute death knoll. I can see coming back from almost everything rather than that.
I have to assume that he'll get some sort of far-right social security from the party and/or oligarchs. So many get Fox News positions and/or speaking gigs and/or book deals - who knows what other money they get/he'll get
Ahh but now he is a martyr to the "cause" and they are going on and on about how this is the government punishing him for telling the truth about the mutilation mill they just know exists even if they can't ever show any evidence of it.
surely he can make back his legal costs and med school loans by taking advertising from Rudy’s coffee on his two episode podcast though and a go fund me, right?
