cnn's sanjay gupta out for surgeon general

CNN personality Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the Obama Administration's top choice for Surgeon General, has withdrawn himself from consideration, citing family reasons and a desire to continue practicing as a surgeon. He was not formally nominated, but was already the target of opposition by public health and health care reform advocates, as well as Congressman John Conyers and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, who criticized his factually inaccurate reporting on Michael Moore's Sicko, as well as his lack of preventative or public health care experience.
