The US abruptly deported a doctor.
The resources that went into her medical training are immense.
Patients need these highly skilled services. Like many countries, the US has a physician shortage.
This directly affects patients.
Unbelievable.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

Highly recommend this @facs.org lecture podcast from Dr Mark Weissler, jampacked with wisdom about the tension between doctor autonomy to keep the Hippocratic oath vs the (over)burdens of regulatory and workplace demands. Oh, and the fallacy of individual #burnout 🔥. A great listen!
