Dr. Sanjay Gupta is not the right choice for Surgeon General

By Hurley, McKenna & Mertz

ADVERTISEMENTS

As soon as I saw that Dr. Sanjay Gupta was being considered for Surgeon General I was both surprised and dismayed. Dr. Gupta has actively supported facilitated communication (FC) as a valid means of helping autistic people communicate. FC has been thoroughly discredited by the scientific community, a fact which Dr. Gupta chooses to ignore. It appears that Dr. Gupta has been chosen for his good looks and his ability to entertain the public with medical anecdotes and not his scientific credentials. This President has promised to put science back in its rightful place. By supporting FC Dr. Gupta has demonstrated that he is no scientist.

I have written a letter to the Obama administration and everyone else I can think of in opposition to this appointment. Please feel free to copy it and/or expound on it and send it to the members of the Senate Health Committee. The letter and committee members are listed below:
