Really?
Considering the job description of the Surgeon General is to “oversee the operations of the 6,000-member Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service”, I just don’t see how a neurosurgeon-turned-TV doctor is the best person to have that job. How about someone with actual experience in the field of public health?
This is not anything against Sanjay Gupta. I’m sure he’s a good guy and a good doctor. This is just yet another case of Obama going with a high-profile person rather than selecting the most qualified people for these jobs. As long as it gets him positive press, why does he care if they aren’t the best candidate?
He helped Hillary with her healthcare plan...

That "TV doctor" still practices and publishes

I’m a lying troll.
And I'm sure his time in Iraq

Look, I don’t really care one way or the other about Doctor Gupta, except to say that he’s not your typical talking head. He’s also had a rather public spat with Michael Moore. I would think that would get him some points hereabouts.
