Trump pulls Casey Means' stalled surgeon general nomination, announces new pick
"Trump described Dr. Nicole Saphier as 'a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment.' Saphier's qualifications include a medical degree from Ross University and fellowships at the Mayo Clinic."
"Dr. Casey Means' nomination faced challenges due to her lack of experience and an active medical license, raising questions about her ability to advance in the Senate health committee."
"Means, a Stanford-educated physician, promotes the idea that Americans are overmedicalized and advocates for diet and lifestyle changes to combat chronic disease."
President Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general following the stalled nomination of Dr. Casey Means. Saphier is a radiologist and director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth. Her nomination comes after Means faced scrutiny regarding her experience and stance on vaccines, leading to doubts about her ability to secure Senate votes. Means, who promotes lifestyle changes for health, had previously been nominated but withdrew amid concerns about her qualifications and lack of an active medical license.
