Paging Dr Gupta: For Surgeon General

The word is, Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be Barack Obama's pick for Surgeon General.  The famous neurosurgeon appears often on CNN and is already practically the nation's doctor.  He is a familiar, trusted face.  Not to mention a good doctor.  

The SG post is not particularly glamorous, but having the closest thing to a celebrity doctor that is possible (although Dr. Oz would have worked too) may help him to get across the government's message on health.
