Use the link to read the entire article. I might guess a pay cut to go along with the title maybe could have some influence as well as the added responsibility of serving as the Surgeon General. Lifestyle and family commitments tell all. We still need someone from the “smart” store, one who maybe doesn’t have a gig with CNN (grin) for starters, although as he mentioned he was flattered for the offer as anyone would be. BD
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, withdrew his name from consideration as surgeon general of the United States on Thursday. He spoke to CNN's Larry King about the decision and President Obama's health care plans. Here is an edited transcript:
Larry King: But, first, breaking news about CNN's own Dr. Sanjay Gupta, long rumored to be the main candidate for U.S. surgeon general. He's taken himself out of the running. Joins us now here in Los Angeles to talk about it. Why?
Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Well, first of all, it was a really tough decision, and a long decision and a long process for sure. And I was incredibly flattered, humbled by the consideration even for the position.
