Passionate about Pulmonary and Critical care medicine and advocating high skilled immigration. Retweeting does not equate endorsement.Views are my own.
@ReichlinMelnick I am told that he derailed many efforts to pass high skilled immigration. He simply wasn’t sincere. A career politician who knew how to milk the hot immigration issue to his advantage.
Appreciated the chance to meet with @immivoice about the importance of Congress passing the EAGLE Act, legislation I introduced in the Senate with @SenatorHick.
@British_Airways@sevaforlife But BA owns the problem. Advance parole is a valid travel document. You are so wrong and proud to own the problem. Dont you have a legal team which can help make a policy decision on this issue #advanceparol
The visa bulletin below is hate speech and de jure discrimination against Indian doctors, researchers, engineers, scientists, etc. This Administration can fix this by adjusting the visa bulletin dates for filing into the 2020s. It simply chooses not to do so. #greencardbacklog
TOTAL US physician compensation is roughly 220 billion, ~8% of US healthcare expenditure. 1 (ONE) PBM had a profit of 125 billion in 2022. Can we stop saying that physician (somebody that actually contributes value to patient care) compensation is the problem?
This is your brain on sleep deprivation.
Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain.
They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making.
They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine.
Here's what they found:
On the left is a normal night of sleep.
On the right is when it's deprived of 4 hours of sleep.
The colored areas are the activity happening in your brain. Notice the lack of activity on the right side.
Researchers found there was less activity in the frontal & parietal lobes, which are crucial for decision making, problem solving & mood control.
You are simply not at your best when you don't get enough sleep.
Another study done at the University of Oslo found that lack of sleep leads to reduced clearance of substances from the brain.
These substances are many of the same waste products that are seen to accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Some recent studies suggest that poor sleep contributes to higher levels of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which lead to the amyloid plaques found in the Alzheimer's brain.
If you want a healthy brain avoid long term sleep deprivation.
What should you do?
• When deprived of sleep avoid making big decisions & pause before reacting to an emotion.
• Fix your sleeping habits. If you can't get enough hours, focus on increasing your sleep quality to make up for it.
Sleep is the best legal performance enhancing drug on the planet.
Make it a priority now so you can protect your brain for later.

#Immigration atty Leon Fresco spoke with @Law360 about the #BidenAdministration's proposed fix for those who are seeking employment-based #visas. Leon said that the fix might not fast-track #permanentresidency, but it would provide much-needed flexibility. Read here: https://t.co/Mt57B4yMql
