My Reactions:
According to this article,it talks about a Gutpa, who is the first unorthodox choice for Surgeon General.
I think it's difficult to be a great official,no matter what kinds of positions they occupy. Besides, what actually does matter is that what the officials do for people not what kind of backgrounds they are from. Maybe Gutpa is the first time to contact with administrative matters in formal. On the other hand, he has a lot of experiences in performing surgery at Emory University. I think the most different part of his work now is that he has to not only focus on his professional field but everything about public's health.
Moreover, to be a Surgeon General should take many sort of duties such as educating the public on all public-health issues, ranging from HIV prevention to obesity, insurance coverage, disease-prevention efforts and etc. He pays much more attention to what the President's focus puts .For example, the President Obama’ s new political aim on health is about the preventive health-care. Therefore, what Gutpa should do is figure some practicable methods out and bring this message to the public. He shows up on TV programs to tell the Americans the details about this policy and writes the article for Time magazine to achieve the consequences he wants.In addition, there were many officials had worked for promoting the Americans’ healthy living goals before. The most important thing is that they have to take everything involved in this issue into consideration so that they could really make correct policies for people. (259)
