President Trump's executive order suspending immigration from seven countries will have a “detrimental effect” on the nation's graduate medical education and the health care system as a whole, two UPMC physicians wrote this week in a major medical journal.

Drs. Ahmad Masri and Mourad Senussi, fellows in UPMC's cardiovascular fellowship training program, examined available data on doctors and students from some of the banned countries, publishing the results Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Trump's order bars U.S. entry of people from the Muslim-majority countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

“By doing these blanket orders, what you effectively do is you block out a lot of really good, hard-working physicians who fill positions that otherwise would be unfilled,” Senussi, of Libya, said in an interview. Masri graduated from a university in Jordan

No Americans to do those jobs? Why not? We’re Americans squeezed out by immigrants? Or are Americans just not smart enough?

Drs. Ahmad Masri and Mourad Senussi, ROFLMAO... go to the hospital today and it is full of dark skinned bearded doctors (male and female) and dot Indians. I don’t go to hospitals; people die there.

Absolutely true. The travel PAUSE does in fact cause uncontrollable spasms, exploding craniums, and very high sphincter clenching in a vast majority of Libs.

WARNING: The Surgeon General has determined that living in a free country with limited government and low taxes can cause extreme reactions in those who suffer from the mental disorder called liberalism

There’s that. All of our great medical breakthroughs come from Somalia these days.

I would think the reverse would be true. Think of all the diseases that won’t be imported if we can stop the refugees.

Drs. Ahmad Masri and Mourad Senussi are probably concerned main line Christians or real Jews!

Not really!

Anyone being treated by these possible Jihadists should find another doctor.

A family member - a medical doctor - explained the ‘nurse’ situation to me. He said they brought in nurses from the Philippines because they couldn't get American nurses to work as cheaply as nurses from the overseas.

It's the Cheap Labor Express at a slightly higher level then 'people who will clean our toilets'...

Being blown up is usually detrimental to health care, too.

Easier said than done.

They work for UPMC, which has cornered the market here.

The Trump administration rejected the doctors' analysis.

“That's silly, it's for 90 days,” a White House spokesman told the Trib in an email, referring to the order's duration.


doh !
