One of Carmona's key points is that the Surgeon General must be selected from the pool of government physicians. I would extend the post to any physician of significant stature. It's been a long time since we have seen the likes of C. Everett Koop. For those that may not remember, Koop went head to head with the tobacco lobby with the hard scientific facts regarding cigarette smoking. He won with his facts, not any agenda, and he initiated the warnings that are seen on cigarette packs.
Holsinger proves that anyone can hold a medical degree and still be ignorant. I wonder what the AMA thinks of his theory of homosexuality?
