What is a Surgeon General? "America's chief health educator."
Gupta's not going to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

If he's appointed Surgeon General, as a well respected neurosurgeon and a journalist on health care, he'll be well-qualified for the position.

"If one looks at a job description of Surgeon General, it reads "The Surgeon General serves as America's chief health educator, informing Americans how to improve their health and reduce the risk of illness and injury." If that's the case, then Gupta, who's clearly smart and articulate, certainly could a logical and excellent choice, a man with the stature and talent to advcoate for our country's health. "

1. Which health?
Edited on Wed Jan-07-09 12:30 PM by HypnoToad
* physical health
* mental health
* emotional health
* fiscal health

Indeed, tell us what to live for, and don't just say "hope". Hope only goes so far.
