@DrDiGiorgio All doctors are underpaid.

For reference, the following would be considered an easy question that 95% of medical students could get right

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

[David Pakman @dpakman]

Do not refer to Trump’s ICE goons as “law enforcement.” They are not enforcing the law. Here is an actual law enforcement professional, the police chief of Minneapolis. He’s sick of ICE and says it’s time for them to go.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Alex Jeffrey Pretti has been identified as the 37-year-old male who was shot and killed by agents with Border Patrol and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a scuffle today in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pretti had no extensive criminal record and worked as a nurse with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

[Aasma Shaukat MD MPH @AasmaShaukatMD]

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢

Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

A 200mg caffeinated Coke Zero would put every single energy drink company out of business.

Proud to see @WomenInThoracic in @nytimes. The challenges highlighted are real, yet our meeting was filled with positivity, momentum, and a commitment to a better future for our mentees, patients, and daughters.
Women are wanted and needed in CT surgery!

SAVR after TAVR at #eacts2025 by Gregory Fontana

Doesn’t look Good… the industry and the Interventional cardiologist will keep pushing further… but the data is right there.

(Btw: totally agree with: is TAVI not TAVR!)

IntraOp Pic: TAVR with large posterior PVL w/ hemolysis + AI. Successful TAVR explant, AVR + root enlargement + Asc Ao repair. Consider upfront SAVR especially for low-risk patients with bicuspid valves with aortic disease!

1950s, University of Minnesota — a sea of surgeons crowds the table during one of the first open-heart surgeries. No ECMO, no mini-circuits — just ingenuity, courage, and teamwork that changed cardiac surgery forever.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
