Oh my goodness. I have chills reading this, I am so devastated for you, your patients, and those who have been looking up to you as a trans-military physician and leader. You have had an enormous impact on many and your journey, as hard as it is now, doesn’t stop here. Hopefully your platform will 🌱

Can you come to Canada? We need good doctors and the immigration process is streamlined for healthcare professionals. Just a thought.

amaruq909.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m sorry. As someone else replied, if you feel unsafe please look into the expedited process for MDs to come to Canada. Check out @avisfavaro.bsky.social Avis’ posts. She’s a health reporter in Canada and has posted all the recruiting information you need.

This is horrific. However, I am sure that you can still do good. Hopefully you can find meaning outside the military, helping people in need.
We need doctors in Canada if you can stand the cold. 🇨🇦

raewalker.bsky.social•1 day ago

Your presence & your work are so vital, particularly in these times. This order is reprehensible, & will cost lives. Thank you for sharing it, & for helping a wider public understand what it means when the government betrays its people & harms its healers. We all lose. Sending love & appreciation.💜🏳️‍⚧️

krlichtenberg.medsky.social•19 hours ago

Sorry yo hear this. It makes me very sad and angry what this Trump administration is going to Americans! They are disgusting and should be removed! We are always looking for great doctors in Canada…

kitchieg.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is the most fucked up timeline to live in. Even in light of other atrocities from history this is the most fucked up because we should all know better to do better now. We had progress and then threw is all away. Other timelines didn't do that.

I know that saying “I’m sorry” rings hollow at times like this, but I truly am heartbroken for you, and so many others.

I hope that knowing that you have the love and support of so many of us will help in some small way.

Come to Canada. It’s lovely here (well, stay away from Alberta & maybe Ontario—we’ll see). BC could appreciate a doctor like you. Do you like to ski? Water sports? Hiking? Hockey? We’ve got it all.
