Prevention, Preparedness Are Top Priorities Surgeon General Shares Plan To 'Transform' Commissioned Corps By Carla Garnett
Just a week or so following his emergency appendectomy at Tripler
Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Surgeon General Richard
Carmona wanted to make a couple of things crystal clear during his
Dec. 19 all-hands meeting at NIH with commissioned officers: First,
he did not intentionally set out to test uniformed services'
urgent-care facilities and contrary to humorous, but untrue
accounts he did not remove his own appendix, although he
did confess to diagnosing himself and perhaps offering treatment
suggestions to his care providers. Secondly, and most importantly,
he intends to use hearty endorsements of the Public Health Service
from both the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the
President to transform the Commissioned Corps as well as the entire
PHS.
