Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
أبطال منتخبنا الوطني، كل التوفيق لكم في مشوار كأس العالم. قاتلوا في الملعب بروح النشامى التي عهدناها بكم، وارفعوا اسم الأردن عاليا، فقلوبنا معكم وفخرنا بكم ثابت دائما
💪 Saudi Arabia is launching protein hookah lounges at gyms
They won’t use nicotine or tobacco — instead, a herbal and molasses-based mix with whey protein, creatine, BCAAs and pre-workout supplements.
The concept was introduced by GymNation, with lounges placed inside or next to gyms as post-workout chill zones.
The rollout starts in Riyadh, followed by Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah and Bahrain.
The project involved Dr Sami Al-Banna, who claims inhaled protein enters the bloodstream faster and is absorbed more efficiently.
Painfully ironic.
Let’s look at the facts behind the noise.
Two of the five “IMGs” everyone is upset about:
Elena Ahrens — 43 peer reviewed publications, 400+ citations, Research Fellow in the department of Anesthesia at Harvard.
Dr Adil Manji — 25 publications, over 1,000 citations, h-index 8, postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School.
Both of them trained and worked at Harvard before residency.
Ask any Program Director, they will tell you the same thing, when someone has already worked within your system, proven their competence, and demonstrated strong work ethic firsthand, they become a far more reliable and desirable candidate.
This isn’t favoritism, it’s informed selection based on direct experience.
But that nuance is lost on those who don’t even understand the fundamentals of graduate medical education.
These are not “average” applicants. These are elite, globally competitive physicians who would be top choices in residency programs anywhere in the world.
Residency selection is not about passports. It is about merit, performance, and potential.
The real question isn’t who is “US-born” vs “IMG.”
The real question is: Do patients deserve the most qualified physicians available?
Because when the bar is this high, the answer is obvious.
And for the record, anesthesiology is not some closed door specialty, many IMGs match into it every year.
My posting about Arsenal tonight has been over-emotional, irrational, and borderline psychotic. But I make no apology for it; it’s been 21 years since we won the League.. and we’re desperate people.
