Surgeon General

don't know a thing about sanjay gupta, so no comment on him. but i think a sad state of affairs that the head of the public health service is a surgeon in the first place - a specialized branch of medicine that while important, doesn't really come into play until things are pretty f'd up, doesn't seem relevant to the vast majority of public health issues, and in particular poorly qualified to deal with rising costs of health care
