Chief CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been approached by the Obama administration about the U.S. surgeon general's post, according to sources inside the transition and at CNN.





so .. what are your thoughts? While he's been a great on-air medical correspondent for CNN... does he have what it takes to be the Surgeon General?

Apparently there are big nerd reps for the first guy who gets any big news story onto wikipedia first. The downside is that articles become very heavy on new information to a level of detail that isn't appropriate for the article. Like when Katrina hit, people put anything and everything into the article about New Orleans. That's why they started Wikinews.

P&N?

 

[Babbles]

He is apparently an accomplished neurosurgeon who can, obviously, present himself well to the public. Sounds like good qualifications to be nominated as the Surgeon General.

 

[JohnCU]

hmm didn't realize he was so accomplished

i'm sure the Off-Topic Mods (who have actually posted in this thread) woulda moved it if they felt it necessary. Since they didnt... how about MBody, mod-wannabe, go back to his nef-cave.

"....Gupta specializes in all facets of neurosurgical care with a strong interest in complicated spine....."

who is better? Gupta, or Jack(from Lost), or Derek(from Grey's anatomy)

Just coz you play a Dr on TV doesnt mean you really are one.
