My new favorite show!

Hopkins, ABC's summer-filler show, is six-part series that takes a look at the lives of all the fabulous surgeons working at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. It's the best thing on TV this summer! The First episode introduced Dr. Alfredo Quiñones, a professor and accomplished brain surgeon, who came to this country many years ago as an illegal immigrant!

Eat that Lou Dobbs! He came from Mexico and did migrant farm labor WHILE attending community college! After Quiñones gained legal status he attended the University of California, Berkeley. From there he attended Harvard Medical School, where he graduated with honors. He went on to complete his residency in neurosurgery at the University of California.

He's such an inspiration, immigration has been such a hot button issue over the last few years. Maybe Mr. Quiñones can sway some of the curmudgeon, bigoted, Anglo-Saxons, towards a path to residency for some millions of people just looking for their American dream.

So besides all this, Hopkins is an awesome show, watch it! Thursdays @ 10 on ABC.
