It probably was an asked for and given resignation rather than ‘fired’. Surgeon General is not a cabinet level position any more is it?

All of them should’ve been whacked by the second week of last November.
Less than three years after being appointed.

He can't be tried or convicted on the crime I just mentioned unfortunately so one of the more domestic murders will have to do.
More evidence the Harvard/Yale career track to the WH is long past it’s sell-by date. This group of immature, pampered dolts is deliberately sabotaging American exceptionalism.
I have a relative 100 percent VA mental disability..and there is no way I would be comfortable around that paranoia with a gun. He will go off on tangents thinking someone is trying to kill him..even family members. We have to call MHCAM to do checks on him when we see the signs.
Even they take multiple people when doing checks on him when he goes into this downward spiral

I think Admiral Adams will be a fine permanent appointment.
Itz be for da chiiillllrruunn!
One more part of the Deep Gubment Swamp drained.
Life is good.
I nominate Dr. Ted Noel

More winning.
Eric Clapner agrees.
And the worm turns a little bit more....

Gas-passer? Is that an auto correct thing?
It sounds like a Native American name: “He who breaks wind”
