Dr. Joycelyn Elders, former director of the state Department of Health and former U.S. surgeon general, will be inducted Friday into the American Medical Women’s Association’s International Women in Medicine Hall of Fame.

Also joining the hall of fame is Dr. Antonia Novello, who in the early 1990s became the first woman and first Hispanic to be appointed U.S. surgeon general.

Elders, who worked in President Bill Clinton’s administration, was the first African American to be appointed surgeon general. Elders argued the case for universal health coverage and was a spokesperson for the Clinton health care reform effort.

Before working as surgeon general, Elders received a National Institutes of Health career development award. She also worked as director of the Arkansas Department of Health under then-Governor Clinton.

Following her position as surgeon general, Elders returned to the University of Arkansas Medical Center as professor of pediatrics. [Teaching the Kids....... What!!??]

The International Women in Medicine Hall of Fame was created by AMWA in order to recognize the outstanding contributions made by women in the medical profession.

Yah, her and Fahmy Malak.

[Timesink]

Well, she certainly got famous, you have to admit that.

[GnuHere]

No barf alert?

I suppose the title should suffice.

[Thebaddog]

This is an Onion article, isn't it?

[My Identity]

And the award for 'Best Impression of a Doctor'
by a mental and moral midget goes to...

[mict42]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, here is the infamous Dr. Elders who advacated teaching our " chilin" the fine art of pleasuring themselves. This is another example of the dumbing down of this country. I can feel my backbone starting to curve down already and coarse hair is starting to bristle on the back of my hands. I sincerely believe that if we don't admit that this path we've taken is leading us nowhere, we might as well all get down on all fours and practice our chest thumping , just like our simian ancestors. We're headed back there, folks.

[zoyd]

Yes, we all know that children don't masturbate.

[concerned about politics]

She suggested teaching young children in public schools masterbation - for their own good.
She also endorsed a book suggesting that having sex with children as young as 10 was good for them.

Following her position as surgeon general, Elders returned to the University of Arkansas Medical Center as professor of pediatrics.

No question as to why she chose to hang out near the children, aye? Now they award her for it. Only in liberal America!

[toupsie]

Ah, come on guys, Dr. Elders was one of the first doctors to see the benefit of "safer bullets" and "mandatory masturbation instruction" for pre-pubescent children.

[morjon]

Yeah, put her in the hall of fame...right next to Dr. Kovorkian.

[pankot]

Yeah. And next I guess Bill Clinton will be inducted into the Husband of the Year Hall of fame.

[sheik yerbouty]

As what? The Witchdoctor General?

Every organization is entitled to one major screw up!

[Drew68]

Yes, we all know that children don't masturbate.

Well, fer cryin' out loud we didn't need it taught to us in school, now did we?

[donozark]

"I like Eric Clapner records." I thought this was a thread from Annanova...

[concerned about politics]

This womans idea of safe sex is: Sex with kids, sex with the same sex, or move the bed away from the wall so they don't bang their empty heads.
