Today, the Office of Attorney General Todd Rokita released the following statement in regards to the medical licensing investigation case involving a 10-year-old girl:
“This is a win for patient privacy rights in the practice of medicine and for properly reporting child abuse. This case is not really about abortion, despite the best efforts of those with an agenda to make it appear that way.
This has always been about two things:
First, it is a doctor’s duty to keep patients’ information private, unless specifically authorized.
Second, a healthcare provider must protect a child from being further abused by properly reporting the situation immediately to Indiana authorities as required by our laws.
But for the doctor’s violation of her patient’s privacy by going to the news media, this story would have never been publicized.
The doctor and her attorneys initiated this media frenzy from the beginning, and it continues to draw attention to this innocent little girl who is trying to cope with a horrific trauma.
The Office of the Attorney General will continue to fight for patients’ rights and safety in this and other situations.‒
Good job, AG Rokita. The doctor betrayed about every oath she took by going to the media.
No, it’s a political witchhunt brought on by a bunch of people who care more about their political agenda than actual children.
Unbelivable ,just slap the people right in face then brag about it
The AG is the biggest fool and bully that I have seen in this office. Read the judge’s findings.
Way to go AG Rokita!
The Dr dragged the 10 yr old into the National Media spotlight to use her for the Drs agenda of thwarting our legislature from restricting abortion in Indiana!
