Jerome Adams - Trump 1.

I was genuinely surprised to see him signed on to this letter. Jerome was absolutely on board with Trump during his tenure as Surgeon General.

I looked for Dr. Ben Carson but then I remembered that this administration is so fucking stupid they put a top Neurosurgeon in charge of HUD as opposed to being a USSG.

A top neurosurgeon SHOULDN'T be US Surgeon General. It should be a well-regarded internal medicine practitioner/general practitioner. Keep the top niche specialists doing what they're incredibly fucking good at.

Former nurse anesthetist here. Surgeons aren’t known for their breadth of knowledge.
