Donald Trump Appoints Surgeon General with a Tragic Backstory
US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, 48, as the nation’s new Surgeon General. A celebrated medical expert frequently featured on Fox News, Dr. Nesheiwat is widely respected for her expertise and passion for healthcare. However, a haunting chapter from her childhood has recently resurfaced in the media.
According to The New York Times, Dr. Nesheiwat accidentally shot her father, Ben Nesheiwat, when she was just 13 years old.
The incident occurred in their Orlando, Florida, home in 1990. As per the police report, she was reaching for a pair of scissors in her father’s bedroom when a fishing tackle box on a shelf tipped over, causing a .38-caliber handgun inside to discharge. The bullet struck her father in the head, and he was declared dead the following day.
The coroner ruled the incident an “accidental shooting.” Dr. Nesheiwat later described the traumatic event in her memoir, Beyond The Stethoscope, but did not explicitly reference her role in her father’s death. Instead, she highlighted how witnessing his tragic death inspired her to pursue a career in medicine.
“When I was 13 years old, I helplessly watched my dear father dying from an accident as blood was spurting everywhere. I couldn’t save his life. This was the start of my personal journey in life to become a physician,” she wrote.
Despite the tragedy, Dr. Nesheiwat’s achievements in medicine have earned her widespread acclaim. She is set to take on the role of Surgeon General with a vision of improving healthcare access and outcomes for Americans.

Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.
It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.
Governor Sanwo Olu then pleaded with Lagosians to bear with the traffic as the repair is necessary. “Let’s think outside the box. If you don’t have business to do in Victoria Island in the next 2 to 3 weeks, conduct your business online and plan ahead.”
However, Mr Macaroni reacts to the Governor’s plea by stating “If the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos, these measures and more extensive ones would have been taken before yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people.”
He lamented on the serious effect that this traffic has taken on people’s day to day life and shared that the government didn’t consider its people.
Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”
The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.
During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”
Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”
Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
