Countries with the Highest Shares of Their Populations Living in the U.S.
David J. BierThe United States is home to immigrants from every country in the world, but people are much more likely to leave some countries than others. The probability of a person from a given country immigrating to the United States can be broadly measured by dividing the number of immigrants in the United States by the country’s population plus the country’s population.Figure 1 shows the origin countries for people with the highest likelihood of immigrating to the United States. The immigration data come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey as of July 1, 2021 and the country population da...

I ’m retiring my first stethoscope
I retired my first stethoscope today. I bought my Littmann Cardiology III during my first term of medical school in 1999. It came with a penlight, otoscope, ophthalmoscope, manual blood pressure cuff, tuning forks and reflex hammer, all contained within a traditional black leather physician’s bag with my initials in gold. Receiving your medical student diagnostic kit is one of the rites of passage for all of us who enter this profession.
I still own all of these items. Most are in that same black leather bag on a shelf in my office. But it was my stethoscope that I have used most often since then, well, until today.
That...

Guide to the Diversity Visa: Demographics, Criminality, and Terrorism Risk
ConclusionThe diversity visa is a relatively small green card category that has allowed in about a million legal immigrant principals since 1993, or about 5 percent of the total. As far as we know, immigrants who entered on the diversity visa are responsible for committing one terrorist attack on U.S. soil that murdered eight people. Foreign-born people from countries that have sent many diversity visa immigrants to the United States have lower incarceration rates than native-born Americans. Calls to end the diversity visa based on a single deadly terrorist attack are premature. Table 1Diversity Visa Admissions by ...

Travel Ban Is Based on Executive Whim, Not Objective Criteria
ConclusionFor countries on the list, and for any country wishing to remain off the list, it is vitally important that they understand which factors led to their inclusion or exclusion. If the United States is acting in good faith —seeking to change behavior as opposed to looking for an excuse to ban people—its criteria should be clearly explained and understood. The Iran nuclear deal, for example, hasvery precise requirements for Iran to avoid sanctions, down to the exact percentage of purity for its enriched uranium. This is very far from the case here.No consistent combination of factors or mitigating factors trigger...

The physician’s ultimate calling faces pressure
In the fall of 1980, in my final year of medical school, I sat in the main ward of Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Filling the vast space were twenty-four beds, in four rows, with twenty-four patients. The prow of the open nursing station thrust from one wall into the center. A high ceiling vanished above. Yellow light filtered through ancient rippled glass windows and distant fluorescent bulbs made skin colors strange.
To sit at the station was to survey the sight, sound, and smell of human suffering. Cancer, heart failure, mysterious infection, stroke, and just plain old, displayed in a zoo of d...

Where Do K-1 Visa Holders Come From?
Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were killed last week in a gun battle with police after they committed a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. Malik entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, known as the fiancé visa, accompanied by Farook. Their attack is the first perpetrated by somebody on the K-1 visa - igniting a debate over increasing visa security.
The government issued approximately 262,162 K-1 visas from 2005 to 2013 – 3177 or 1.21 percent of the total to Pakistani citizens.
Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) SECURE Act identifies 34 countries as particularly terror-prone. There were 32,363 K-1 visa, 12.34 pe...

Fibromyalgia Allergy List Crashes EMR at Local Hospital
Arlington, VA - Officials at Saint Vincent Hospital are searching for answers after a fibromyalgia patient with 57 allergies crashed their electronic medical record less than two hours after going live. "We were not prepared for the destructive forces fibro[myalgia] had to our IT infrastructure," said CEO Lance Bestow. "We spent eighty million dollars and hired fourteen consulting firms and it still found a way to ruin our day."Pharmacist Jim Detter was working data entry duty when the malicious fibromyalgia attack occurred. "Everything was fine at first. Then I hit a string of allergies to ca...

Hospital Taglines, are they dead?
Last week I read an article in Adweek that touted the “death of the tagline“.
It upset me.
I reluctantly agree that many legacy brands whose taglines propelled them to greatness no longer use them. Apple has not used “Think different” for years. I also concede that most of today’s admired brands, such as Starbucks, Whole Foods, Lululemon, Nordstrom—don’t have them, but invest their messaging efforts towards essence statements, such as Starbucks “rewarding everyday moments’.
I still believe in the power of taglines and their function. Taglines are not dead!

Non-Profit Hospital Executive Salaries Continue to Defy Gravity and Logic
The old saying is that nothing is certain except death and taxes. In health care, the other near certainty seems to be that compensation for health care leaders is big and always getting bigger. Over the past few weeks several reports about the compensation of top executives of US non-profit hospitals and hospital systems have appeared. So it is time to do our latest round-up of incessantly buoyant hospital executive compensation, and argumentative hot air that seems to fuel it. I will first summarize the latest cases in alphabetical order by state, and then examine some common justifications for th...
