Because I am raising concerns about the flood of unvetted illegal immigrants overwhelming American cities, the press will often characterize me as “anti-immigrant”.

As an immigrant myself, nothing could be further from the truth.

I am very much in favor of increased and expedited legal immigration for anyone who is talented, hard-working and honest.

It is bizarrely difficult and agonizingly slow to immigrate to the USA legally, but trivial and fast to enter illegally! This obviously makes no sense.

Successful Angiovac removal of tricuspid vegetation. Great team work. First case in Tucson, AZ. @dexterdeleonmd @ZainKhalpey @HealthierTucson

@scottmartinMD How about using the femoral art line kit with a long 18 g cannula?

[Joshua D Adams, MD @AorticCenter]

This makes so much sense and is something that the @CDCgov should adjust their guidelines to support. Along with full #PPE protection for high risk procedures. All intubations, tracheostomy, etc.

"I think it's ridiculous that we're spending $600 billion in our healthcare system that we could save if we just bothered to streamline the way our insurance works,” lead author David Himmelstein told @TCTMD. https://t.co/E8aUMrKyDy
