While I am genuinely concerned for my colleagues who are doctors currently on H1B visas, I acknowledge that I can't make people care about other humans.

But American *should* care about the fact that their ability to get medical care WILL be affected by these visa restrictions.

James D Young @jamesdyoung.bsky.social · Sep 20

23% of all resident medical doctors are on H1B, many working in rural and underserved hospitals because those hospitals have trouble getting doctors to move to Danville, VA or Salina, KS.

I love the parallel conversations we have happening with retired pediatricians

Kristen Young @kristenyoung.bsky.social · Aug 28

No - no dressing up. Basically anything to stay cool - this was July in AZ. A band shirt or tank, & famous stars and straps belt/buckle.

As an aside - People went hard for lady Gaga in 2009-2012… Great costumes and outfits.

It’s pure chaos:

Call the Uber and I
Tell him turn it up, tell him turn it up, baby
That's my song they're playing
Baby turn it up, could you turn it up, maybe?
…
That's all for now Mr. Driver
I'm rating you 5 stars
