Dude, You’re Getting a Deal: Non-Competitive Bids Government Contracting Scheme Ends in $4.
The Christian nurse who blew the whistle on Texas Children's Hospital allegedly using federal funding for gender-affirming care has been fired.
Vanessa Sivadge, 31, announced on social media that the hospital unlawfully fired her on August 16 - months after putting her on leave.
The hospital at the time cited 'things [she] shared publicly' as its justification for putting Sivadge on leave after journalist Christopher Rufo published her allegations that the hospital charged Medicaid to cover minors' cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers against state law.
She now says her claims about the hospital, and a religious accommodation request to transfer out of the endocrinology clinic - where she claims she was forced into the 'indirect participation in the care of children on cross-sex hormones' - contributed to the hospital's decision to fire her.
'This is unlawful for two reasons: It is retaliation for my coming forward with information on TCH's egregious pattern of deception and Medicaid fraud, and this actin also illegally disregarded my request to transfer due to my belief that these procedures bring irreversible harm and lifelong regret to children confused about their sex,' she argued.
