The latest Obama rumor is that CNN’s top doc, neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta, might be appointed to U.S. Surgeon General.
Gupta seems like the sharpest medical tack I have ever seen on television. He is very much on top of all the world’s top medical issues and he has a great ability to make dumb s**ts like me to understand them. That is what a surgeon general needs to do as far as his public profile. As far as his overseeing the U.S. Public Health Service, CDC, etc., he certainly must be better than the people picked during the Bush Fiasco. I figure I could do better than some of those Bushites and I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.
I have a bias towards certain medical specialties with neurosurgeons being part of them (at least those who are worth a s**t). That is because I have had two C-spine surgeries performed by neurosurgeons, both of whom were very good at what they did. The latter surgeon had office personnel who should be taken out on a nice Gulf cruise and left on an oil platform and whose names can be found in the dictionary by looking at the word “bitch.” But maybe Surgeon Gen. Gupta will do something about the bitches who work in doctors’ offices. That is not by any means saying doctor’s office personnel are bad people. But some are really … especially Cathy. To this day, I will never forgive Cathy, that tall, good-looking, office nurse, who dumped me during a new year’s date. That was just not cool. Bitch.
