A blessed relief

Compare this energetic genius with attorney Sotomayor. Look at the obstacles overcome, the disasters Dr. Benjamin has survived and defeated. Now you're talking! Couldn't we find, for the Supreme Court of the United States, the legal equivalent of this great lady? Instead of a bully who actually boasts that she was an "affirmative action" baby, awarded full scholarships, appointed to everything. Dr. Benjamin should be the national role model.

Dr. Regina Benjamin

Her single purpose has been to provide quality health careto the forgotten and underserved, guided by compassion and humilty, through obstacles that would crush a person of lesser character and faith.

I am so proud to know you. Godspeed!

Bravo Dr. Benjamin!

When I saw the brief AP article about Dr. Benjamin being nominated for U.S. Surgeon General, I had to Google to find out more and came across this great article (Reader's Digest) also has a great story.

I am delighted at her selection to head the nation's top doctor's job, she is just the person needed. What an inspiration!

Dr. Regina - long live

You're really a brilliant example of a loving care giver without any greed, tell you what, God is with you, people's love is with you, you're inspiring the communities, and if all follow your example, health care cost will go down, and uninsured, and underinsured folks will get good care. I feel very good reading your story.

Let there be Dr. Regina everywhere.

Dr. Regina Benjamin

I first read her story in USNews magazine, and was so inspired. I thank God for her. She is like an angel.
