50 Million Pound Challenge...?

I am very impressed with Dr. Benjamin's credentials, but my God! She needs to practice what she preaches, get on a healthy diet, exercise, and lose the weight! She is a poor witness for health care. Other than that, I'm fine with her.

Better Than The Rest

That's what's wrong with the world now, Too Much Negativity! If there is a problem, the problem would be the who won't give her a chance.

Regina Benjamin

What an inspiring artical! Dr. Regina, I am so grateful for physicans like you. I have a chronic disability and not having access to a doctor and medication can be a life threatening problem. I want to work on a solution to fix the healthcare system in this country. Any insight from your organization would be greatly appreciated. You are setting a wonderful example. Don't listen to the naysayers above, some people will never get it.

Blessings,

MC

Surgeon General Regina Benjamin

What a terrible example for Americans - an obese doctor! Full Speed Ahead on the Obama train wreck!

Surgeon General

Congratulations Regina. Not only do I know what a wonderful person you are, now the rest of the world will too. This world is a better place because you are in it. I am blessed to call you friend.

Dr. Regina Benjamina- a real Angel of Mercy!

Dr.Regina Benjamin can be a good nominee for the Nobel Peace prize for her tireless humanitarian work! We wish her success and good luck in her job as Surgeon General.A well-deserved reward for this real Angel of Mercy!!

An excellant choice

Congratulations Dr. Benjamin and good luck. I know that you will do an excellant job. Make Alabama proud. God bless you.

Nomination of Dr. Regina Benjamin

It is absolutely wonderful to watch a compassionate and committed healthcare professional receive such a notable nomination as the top Doc in the US. Hard work, determination, perserverance and education positioned Dr. Benjamin just where she is needed in this country, to serve and offer her talent and expertise to the healthcare of millions throughout the country that are so desperately in need. Just unfortunate that her mother, father and brother could not be here to share in the honor.

Congratulations and many prayers.

Dr. Benjamin

Dr. Benjamin deserves this recognition but I think we as a nation are fortunate to have her as our Surgeon General. Wow!! a doctor who thinks that all people deserve health care.
