[mailto:trauma-list-bounces@trauma.org]<BR>>On Behalf Of William Bromberg<BR>>Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 1:06 PM<BR>>To: Trauma &amp; Critical Care mailing list<BR>>Subject: RE: Dr. Richard Carmona<BR>><BR>>OK I can't take it anymore. The position of the Surgeon General is to be the<BR>>administration's spokesperson on medical policy. Looking at his CV he has no<BR>>special expertise on stem cell research or STDs. His background is in<BR>>trauma, bioterrorism, and etc. No, he was not hired for his scientific<BR>>opinion. It's a political job. It's always been a political job. If you<BR>>can't parrot the administration's lines (which I find misguided), you should<BR>>resign or not have taken the job in the first place. When you hold a<BR>>political position, you only get to disagree in private. How long do you<BR>>think Tony Snow
would last if he started disagreeing with the administration<BR>>during press conferences?<BR>><BR>>Furthermore, I frankly don't believe the moral outrage. It's not like the<BR>>position hasn't been political in the past -- anybody remember the Jocelyn<BR>>Elders fiasco? Remember who fired her for talking about masturbation (rhymes<BR>>with "linton")? From an article on this topic from the Washington Post:<BR>>[Former Surgeon General David] Satcher, Carmona's predecessor, who served<BR>>from 1998 to 2002, said that under President Bill Clinton he could not<BR>>release a report on sexuality and public health, in part because of<BR>>sensitivities triggered by the Monica Lewinsky scandal.<BR>><BR>>How long do you think Hilary's Surgeon General would last if they started<BR>>talking about how Roe v. Wade should be overturned? When a democrat
appoints<BR>>a SG that is pro-life, anti-stem cell, etc. etc. I'll buy the surprise and<BR>>disappointment I've seen on this topic. Till then, nope.<BR>><BR>><BR>>Bill Bromberg<BR>><BR>> >>> "Eaves.Wanda" <Eaves.Wanda@mccg.org> 7/12/2007 12:09 PM >>><BR>>A disturbing point was made in this quote from the NPR article; which<BR>>further shows what Dr. Carmona must have faced.<BR>><BR>>Virginia Congressman Tom Davis, the committee's senior Republican, said<BR>>he was sympathetic to Carmona's complaints, but only to a point.<BR>><BR>>"I'm not sure what the boundaries are for appointed political officials<BR>>who sometimes have opinions different from the elected administration,"<BR>>Davis said. "It's tough trying to define where you be a team player and<BR>>where you speak out, and you try to balance that every day.
But we have<BR>>politicians who run the government, and not scientists."<BR>><BR>>I thought he was appointed to give scientific opinion??<BR>><BR>>we<BR>><BR>><BR>>-----Original Message-----<BR>>From: Charlene M Morris [mailto:cvmmorris@gmail.com]<BR>>Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 12:28 PM<BR>>To: Trauma &amp, Critical Care mailing list<BR>>Subject: Re: Dr. Richard Carmona<BR>><BR>>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11854247* *<BR>><http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11854247><http://w<BR>>ww.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11854247><BR>><BR>>easier yet.<BR>>CMM<BR>><BR>><BR>>On 7/11/07, Gabriel Castillo <castill@eng.usf.edu> wrote:<BR>> ><BR>> > If you go to<BR>> > http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/11/washington/11surgeon.html?hp on
