Sanjay Gupta and Michael Moore -- essentially two experts on health care who disagree ideologically on a range of health concerns -- had a fascinating exchange on Larry King Live.

So, America's most telegenic, Indian-American neurosurgeon/family man/anchorman will be America's next surgeon general. None of C. Everett Koop's stern demeanor and exceptional facial hair or Joycelyn Elders' tendency toward the most awkward national public health conversations ever. Not for Obama....

Krugman points out that CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the man Obama is considering for Surgeon General, conducted an on-the-air mugging of Michael Moore that turned out to be absolutely false. From Krugman : I don’t have a problem with Gupta’s qualifications. But I do remember his mugging of Michael Moore over Sicko. You don’t have to like Moore or his film; but Gupta specifically claimed that Moore “fudged...

Quick, name anyone that has ever served as surgeon general. Unless you've seen a lot of Life Alert commercials , you probably can't. But America won't have that problem anymore. Because according to reports, brain surgeon and Michael Moore debater Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the omnipotent contributor to CNN, CBS, and Time magazine, has been tapped by Barack Obama to take over the post. He'll soon be in charge...

I know, you're thinking: If that's the trouble, bring it on . But let's read what Krugman has to say : So apparently Obama plans to appoint CNN’s Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General. I don’t have a problem with Gupta’s qualifications. But I do remember his mugging of Michael Moore over Sicko. You don’t have to like Moore or his film; but Gupta specifically claimed that Moore “fudged his facts”, when the...

It's a smart political choice--one that puts an undeniably smart, young, minority figure in a place...

I'm sorry, but I am disliking Pres.-Elect Obama's choices to fill the last high-profile positions in his administration. Case in point: Sanjay Gupta is cute as hell, but I stopped liking him when I started listening to his reports and...

The trial balloon that CNN reporter/Dr. Sanjay Gupta is being considered for Surgeon General should be shot down immediately. Anyone who watched Gupta make a laughable idiot of himself in connection with Michael Moore's Sicko knows he is not qualified for this job (video after the flip). Krugman, as usual, is on the case: You don't have to like Moore or his film; but Gupta specifically claimed that...

Look, it's one thing to try to establish some kind of spirit of bipartisanship. I'm not with those who are clinging to the idea that Barack Obama's embrace of people like Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, or his plan to make CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta the next Surgeon General is some kind of head fake. I always knew that Obama was basically a centrist with an annoying tendency...

I have a few short links for everyone today. One series of posts that you might not have seen from Xconomy is a tour of the technological hot spots of India by Boston University's Vinit Nijhawan. It's interesting stuff for people like me who haven't been to the country, and he isn't shy about pointing out both the good and the bad about India's current situation. He's not focusing on the chemistry/pharmaceutical...

President-elect Obama is expected to appoint CNN chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, to the post of Surgeon General. The downside: Gupta was once a White House Fellow working for Hillary Clinton. The upside: he took on Michael Moore over the errors and distortions in Moore's movie, SiCKO. In one interview, Moore became so agitated he wondered aloud about which [...]

I generally watch CNN only when I can’t avoid it—in airports or bus terminals or bank lobbies where the network’s endless loops of “breaking news” and “expert analysis” can’t be ignored. However, when I saw CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta’s mug in the news yesterday with him being touted as the frontrunner to be the [...]

In case this is your first go round with the confirmation process, it is summarized here . First up is Tom Daschle. His hearing today is with the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labour and Pensions. It appears to be open to the public, and if you’re in DC, it is slated to start at 10 a.m. in room SD-430. I’m assuming that it will be on C-Span, if not other channels. Mr. Daschle is incredibly...
