		<description><![CDATA[http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2009/01/06/sanjay-gupta-surgeon-general/
Seriously!?  You mean - the President Elect really meant it when he said change is going to be partly OUR responsibility too???
The Surgeon General hasn&#8217;t been well represented since the glory days of C. Everett Koop, who I absolutely adored, and who fulfilled a critical function at a dire time in American health history.  I [...]]]></description>
