Surgeon General asked to step down by Donald Trump

[gipper]

Good ridiancece to anohter obumble appointed

... but he has no replacement for him. He needs to find replacement first before asking people to step down.

More important to purge every one of Obama's sycophants from all positions in his administration because every one of his appointees were appointed based on their willingness to carry out his political agenda and nothing else.

I think it makes it appear like trump's appointees are going to be nothing but partisan yes men and our govt can't be trusted with him in there, if he thinks everyone is simply working as a partisan, instead of actually doing the job we pay them for...

...and that didn't happen with Obama? I don't think you understand what cabinet positions are.

Obama did not fire all the appointees from Bush untll he found and hired their replacements. AND he kept the career workers who worked thru several presidents, AND he did keep some Bush appointments....and the prosecutors hired by Bush working on cases he let stay until their cases were finished....

Is it true that everything thing Trump does is bad and everything Obama did is good?

You "think"? You'll have to do better than that.

How would any American view it?

He's wiped out every agency and Department workers including people who have worked in those agencies for 30 to 40 years thru R and D administrations, ALL BEFORE he hired their replacements....

Trump actually suffers from paranoia, that everyone he hasn't picked is out to get him, even Career workers.

Again, you voice your opinion. That's fine but it's still just an opinion. You don't speak for all Americans.

Trump went ahead and replaced a doctor with a nurse? Why?

...

Murthy, 39, has been replaced by his deputy, Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, one of the first nurses to serve as surgeon general.

"Murthy, the leader of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, was asked to resign from his duties as Surgeon General after assisting in a smooth transition into the new Trump administration," the US Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement yesterday.

"Murthy has been relieved of his duties as Surgeon General and will continue to serve as a member of the Commissioned Corps," the statement said.

Murthy was a gun-hating leftist with socialist leanings about medical care and his position leading the Public Health Service. His replacement is a highly qualified nurse with outstanding credentials and record of service. She deserves the spot.

Is the OP trying to look down on nurses?

No.

If Trump had replaced all the Obama appointees with his own appointees on the day he took over the office, it would have not been an issue. The manner in which Trump is going about it makes it look like retaliation.

It is your doctor who devices a treatment plan when you get sick not your nurse. A nurse cannot work independently without the supervision of a doctor; this even applies to a NP (Nurse Practitioner).

I knew the OP was looking down on nurses. Classy.

I am looking down on you for sure

Now stay out unless you want to contribute something to the discussion.

Has anyone posted anything to discredit or disqualify Admiral Trent-Adams? A disgrace for her to suffer this libel for no reason.

Has there ever been a SG who was not a doctor? Can a NP treat a patient without a doctor's supervision? If a nurse or NP is not allowed to treat a patient without the supervision of a doctor then how can he/she be allowed to oversee the health of an entire nation?

Answer those questions and do not make false accusations.

Some people here seem to think the Surgeon General's job is to actually perform surgery.

Some people here think that just because they refuse to get haircut makes them smart
