Casey Means Is An Odd Choice To Serve As “The Nation’s Doctor”

Casey Means Is An Odd Choice To Serve As “The Nation’s Doctor”
SHARE

President Donald Trump made a surprising decision last week when he withdrew his nomination of Dr. Jennifer Nesheiwat for Surgeon General of the United States and instead nominated Dr. Casey Means, a 37-year-old wellness influencer with close ties to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This move raised eyebrows as Casey Means’ background and career trajectory do not align with the traditional qualifications for such a high-profile position.

The decision to switch nominees came after revelations about Dr. Nesheiwat’s educational background, which included obtaining her medical degree from a Caribbean medical school rather than the University of Arkansas as previously claimed. However, it was Laura Loomer, a far-right figure, who raised concerns about Nesheiwat’s ties to the COVID vaccine, medical malpractice allegations, and her foreign medical education. This ultimately led to Trump’s decision to withdraw her nomination and nominate Dr. Casey Means instead.

Casey Means, despite holding a medical degree from Stanford University and Stanford School of Medicine, took a different path in her career by transitioning from a residency program in Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery to becoming a functional medicine doctor focused on holistic approaches to care. She co-founded Levels, a company promoting continuous glucose monitoring for healthy individuals, and has been involved in various health-related ventures and advocacy work. Her unconventional career path and controversial views on topics such as vaccines and holistic health have raised questions about her suitability for the role of Surgeon General.

The role of the Surgeon General is crucial in providing Americans with accurate and science-based information on improving health and preventing illness. Historically, Surgeons General have played a significant role in public health initiatives, such as the landmark Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health in 1964. Dr. C. Everett Koop, who served as Surgeon General in the 1980s, defined the role as “the nation’s doctor” and focused on evidence-based approaches to public health issues.

However, growing political interference in the role of Surgeon General has raised concerns about maintaining independence and prioritizing public health over political agendas. Previous Surgeons General have faced challenges in navigating political pressures while staying true to their mission of serving as the nation’s doctor.

Dr. Casey Means’ nomination as Surgeon General has sparked controversy and divided opinions among various groups. While some support her unconventional approach to healthcare and advocacy for holistic practices, others question her qualifications and alignment with evidence-based medicine. Her close ties to RFK Jr. and her departure from traditional medical practices have raised concerns about her ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the Surgeon General effectively.

As Dr. Means’ nomination moves forward, it remains to be seen how she will navigate the confirmation process and address the skepticism surrounding her qualifications and views. The public’s trust in her ability to serve as “the nation’s doctor” will likely be a key factor in determining her success in this crucial role.
