- Abstract
An interview with U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy is presented. He narrates how his father, who was raised on a farm in South India, became a primary care physician in the U.S. He cites former U.S. surgeon general C. Everett Koop as his role model. He talks about whether he will use his position as surgeon general to advance gun control laws in the U.S. as of late May 2015.
