A doctors most important value is do no harm. Dr. Haim is protecting children. Shame on all three of you.

[jimmyj]

It's illegal what the hospital did period and should be exposed

[Paula--]

Dr Haim is a hero for exposing the truth. Shame on you. Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil.

[tobinprowant]

He is a saint and everyone who is against him is the devil

[maggiecampos]

Shame on you channel 26 for stating only one side of the story and not having anybody to defend him! I've watched his side of the story, and the evils he is exposing are unbelievable! I thank God for this doctor for exposing these horrible evils!

[empowered]

So many are doing this in hospitals they just haven't been caught yet.

You keep talking about what he was trying to do is if you could read his mind. You have no idea. Perhaps what he was trying to do was rescue children.

[cljenny]

Go look at the interview Dr. Haim did with Jordan Peterson.

[melanysmith]

You have managed to scare all whistle blowers with this nonsence shame on you channel 26

[SidBowens]

I lost respect for this show after you framed the conversation to make the doctor seem like he’s the bad guy!

[SandyA-qg]

What times we live in! They call what is good as evil and what as evil as good, just as written. In any case, could it be true that as the Word states, we are "fearfully and wonderfully made"? He is love and is kind but He's also desiring none should perish but for all to come to the knowledge of Christ.

[jacobsutherland]

Easy to dogpile on a man when he isn’t there to defend himself. You are cowards.

Elevate Recovery in Glen Burnie MD, Solid Ground in Frederick MD, Orenda Wellness Center in Frederick MD and UP and Out in Thurmont MD all violated my HIPPA rights in 2024

[thomasarcher]

Dr. Haim's attorneys should focus on delaying the case, at least until January 20th. At that point the DOJ prosecutors will be unemployed and looking for new jobs. ;)

Imagine hospitals sharing your medical information via text messages & your phone gets hacked for all to see. Seems legit, eh?

[DrewPWeiner]

HIPAA is important. I would know because I do medical records and I know my stuff.
