Nurse reveals why she blew whistle on America's biggest children's hospital pushing transgender surgeries on kids
SUMMARY
Vanessa Sivadge, a nurse at Texas Children's Hospital, decided to blow the whistle on doctors at TCH for pushing transgender surgeries on minors, allegedly violating state law by using Medicaid benefits. She claimed doctors manipulated parents by suggesting their children might commit suicide without transitioning and misdiagnosed hormone deficiencies to secure Medicaid coverage. Sivadge reported seeing patients with underlying issues like autism and depression being overlooked. After revealing her concerns, she said FBI agents threatened her to keep silent. Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating, and State Rep. Brian Harrison has called for an emergency hearing over the alleged intimidation by the U.S. Justice Department.
