Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) told the Indian-American Surgeon General Nominee that she would feel “right at home” in Kansas because he has some Indian doctors there.
During confirmation hearings this week, Roberts invited Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy to visit Kansas, noting that Dodge City has some wonderful Indian-American doctors.
“I’m going to invite you, because we have a lovely doctor from India. She’s in her mid-30s, and she’s highly respected by the community. And another doctor from India who did a carpal tunnel when I did a stupid thing. And so, I think you’d be right at home, and we would welcome you.” SOURCE
Murthy is expected to be confirmed later this year due to recent changes in the filibuster.
