Gupta eyed as surgeon general by Obama
President-elect Barack Obama's reported pick for surgeon general is CNN medical journalist Sanjay Gupta. A neurosurgeon who still operates part time, Gupta's fame could boost the office's visibility and support health system reform, though critics note potential conflicts of interest with drug company sponsorships. CNN confirmed Gupta is under consideration but stressed his on-air work focuses on health and wellness, not policy.
