BREAKING NEWS - Dr. Ezequiel Veliz has been released!!!! After days of uncertainty, advocacy, and tireless effort, he is now home with his family — where he belongs!! We are grateful to share that Dr. Veliz is already in direct contact with us through Project IMG. His strength, his story, and his commitment will continue to inspire and help us amplify this mission. This is more than one victory. This is proof of what a united community can do. But we are not done. We will continue fighting — day and night, non-stop — until Dr. Bibi and Dr. Joseph are also released. And we will keep pushing until no physician, no human being, is put in this situation again. Today we celebrate. Tomorrow we continue. Welcome home, Dr. Veliz. #ProjectIMG #IMGs #PhysicianAdvocacy #HealthcareMatters #WelcomeHomeDrVeliz

@drpaulwinston Nice work!

We built Cryoneurolysis nerve by nerve based on patient need. Back at the start, a pregnant mom of 3, swelled out of her leg brace. Botox is not indicated in pregnancy. So Dr Vincent tried cryo. We published in 2019.

Hoping she’s recovering well- and also proud of her for being so transparent about the toll on mental health after stroke 🫶

𝗔 𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗. 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝟱-𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥-𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗗. Dr. Rubeliz Bolívar, a PGY-1 Emergency Medicine resident in South Texas, a physician serving a medically underserved community, was reportedly detained while traveling within the United States, despite having valid work authorization. Let that sink in. A frontline doctor, caring for some of the most vulnerable patients in the country, pulled away from her hospital, separated from her duty, and placed in detention, along with her young daughter. This is not just an immigration issue. This is a public health crisis. Her colleagues describe her as brilliant, dedicated, and deeply committed to her patients. In a region already struggling with physician shortages, her absence is not just a loss, it is a direct hit to patient care. Hundreds of patients rely on her. An already strained system depends on physicians like her. And yet, she is behind bars. If reports are accurate, she presented valid documentation, including a work permit and ongoing legal immigration processes, and was still detained. This raises deeply troubling questions: 🔹 Are we now detaining legally authorized physicians serving underserved America? What message does this send to the entire healthcare workforce, especially IMGs who form the backbone of care in such regions? This cannot be normalized. We call upon: @AmerMedicalAssn @acgme American College of Emergency Physicians Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates …to urgently intervene , advocate for due process, and ensure the immediate release of a physician who is actively serving the American people. 🔹 Healthcare workers are not expendable. 🔹 Underserved communities are not collateral damage. 🔹 Children should never be caught in the crossfire. nytimes.com/2026/04/11/us/… #ReleaseDrBolivar #IMGs #PhysicianShortage #Match2027 #MedTwitter #USCISPause

@MVGutierrezMD I feel like in the future, we are going to learn more and more that some of the chronic “idiopathic” diseases we encounter have some connection to viral illnesses…

Worth a read… 👇

@Akinchita 👏👏👏 Great work!

@AOAforDOs @rhodahijazi @ryanbkeller @aocpmr @Dan_Yac21 @DrNick_DO @betsyhilt Leadership, to me, is always about impact, community, and leaving things better than you found them. I’m so excited to see how the next team builds on this momentum in the year ahead ❤️💙🤍
