Dr. Sanjay Gupta
DR. SANJAY GUPTA IS THE IDEAL PERSON FOR THE SURGEON GENERAL POSITION OR FORGET IT!
Dr. Gupta is a Perfect choice !
We need a 21st century Surgeon General like Dr. Gupta to address general population health issues: Obesity, Sexual Diseases, Exercise(remember President Kennedy's National Fitness Program in the 60's? i.e ALL kids had to take gym?) and Prevention. The health system is collapsing - been to an emergency room lately? - even if you have health insurance,it is not going to be your safety net. You must educate yourself and your loved ones about diet, exercise, reducing stress. Dr Gupta will get us there. He is technically proficient and I believe our young people will listen to him. PS: can ANYONE remember who the last two Surgeon Generals were or what they accomplished ?
