Retaliation is unconstitutional. #FreeEzequiel Venezuelan Doctor Detained in Texas After Losing Job to Visa Freeze - The New York Times nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

This is unacceptable on multiple levels. Yes, national security matters, but indiscriminately delaying visa renewals for physicians who have already been living and practicing in the U.S. for years makes no sense. Blocking new physicians from these 39 countries only deepens the damage. This is not just an immigration issue, it is a direct hit to patient care in America. Many of these doctors serve in medically underserved areas, where wait times are already long and access is fragile. When they are suddenly pulled out of the system, it is U.S. citizens who pay the price with delayed care, missed diagnoses, and worsening outcomes. I have lived this reality. I went through prolonged administrative processing twice. During my absence, my patients in North Dakota were the ones who suffered. We cannot claim to address a physician shortage while simultaneously sidelining the very doctors keeping the system afloat. There must be a clear, immediate exception for physicians already serving in the U.S. This needs to end.

We thank @ACPIMPhysicians for standing up and advocating for the thousands of physicians affected by the USCIS pause. Since December, US-trained doctors born in 39 designated countries have effectively been blocked from every legal pathway to remain lawfully in the US and continue caring for patients: no visa extensions, no work permits, no green cards, and no path to citizenship, despite doing everything right and giving years of service to the US healthcare system. These are not new applicants trying to enter the system. They are doctors already here who completed residency and fellowship in the US, are board-certified in their primary specialty, and are already caring for American patients. Many serve in rural and underserved communities, where losing even one physician can be devastating. After years of training and service, their careers are being brought to a halt for one reason alone: their country of birth. Yet almost no one knows this is happening. Media coverage has been minimal, and organizational advocacy has been scarce. ACP was among the first to recognize the gravity of this issue. This is not just an immigration matter. It is a patient care crisis unfolding in plain sight. @ACPIMPhysicians @AmerMedicalAssn @Cardiology @Cardiology @AANmember @AAMCtoday @ProjectImg @ReichlinMelnick acponline.org/sites/default/…

For many with kidney failure, the wait for a transplant can take years due to a shortage of deceased donors. Living-donor transplants offer a life-changing alternative — with shorter wait times and better outcomes. Learn more. #WorldKidneyDay mayocl.in/40tbjpg

الأخبار المفزعة عن مقتل الصحفي الباسل معمر إبراهيم تحت التعذيب في معتقلات مليشيا الدعم السريع، التي اختطفته منذ اجتياحها للفاشر في ٢٦ أكتوبر، ليست مجرد جريمة عابرة، إنها ادانة أخلاقية وسياسية لكل من يساند هذه المليشيا أو يواصل التستر على جرائمها. صمت العالم، وصمت الأطراف المتواطئة مع المليشيا، يجعلهم جميعا شركاء في هذه البشاعة. على مليشيا الدعم السريع و #الإمارات أن تكشفا، وبشكل فوري وواضح، عن مصير معمر، وأن تقدّما أدلة وضمانات حقيقية حول سلامته، وأن تطلقا سراحه فوراً ودون أي تأخير. حفظ الله معمر، صوت الفاشر الباسل، من كل شر.

Mayo Clinic in Florida completed its 10,000th transplant! The landmark procedure was the liver portion of a combined heart–liver transplant, a powerful symbol of the collaboration, innovation, and teamwork that define our program. Thanks to the generosity of our donors.
