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!!

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

Mahatma Gandhi and Maria Teresa are not around to continue to show the world power of love and humanity. Dr. Regina Benjamin is here today. May almighty continue to bless and guide you.
