'I Won': TX Children's Hospital Whistleblower Nurse Reaches Historic Settlement

quote:

---

Under the terms of the settlement, Texas Children's Hospital is required to pay $10 million in penalties; build and operate a free Detransition Clinic to provide "full-service care" to patients who underwent sex-rejecting procedures at any hospital or clinic in the nation; issue a written statement to the public about its practices and legal obligations going forward; permanently terminate and revoke the privileges of five physicians who carried out the procedures and never re-hire or credential them; implement operational reforms including training on the dangers of sex-rejecting treatments and procedures including whistleblower training; rewrite institutional by-laws so anyone performing those procedures loses clinical privileges, and commit to a permanent prohibition on sex-rejecting services at all facilities.
