At first I kinda laughed at this, but as I think more about it, it isn't a horrible pick. First, I had never been aware of his credentials before, but now that I am, he's no slouch. Moreover, surgeon general is the sort of thing where you're really serving as a figurehead for health-related matters, not making policy, and Sanjay Gupta is someone that a lot of Americans already know and trust to speak on such issues.
Intriguing...
