She Predicted Surgeon General Pick

Doctor Regina Benjamin's nurse of almost twenty years says she knew her boss was going places!

Nell Stoddard, known as Granny Nell, says she wasn't surprised by the president's pick to be the new U.S. Surgeon General. This Bayou La Batre nurse claims she predicted Dr. Benjamin would get the position six years ago! "Whenever she called me, she said well Nell you predicted it. Her mother and I talked about it before she died. I said the way she's working, she's going to be surgeon general someday."

Granny Nell worked alongside Dr. Benjamin in the rural clinic and was there for all the ups and downs. Nell's hunch started coming true a few months ago when a female FBI agent showed up to ask some security questions. "She stayed with me for a little bit and I said, can I ask a question? She said yes. I said what is this for? She said I'm not at liberty to tell you but she said I think if it happens, it’s gonna be good."

Dr. Benjamin still needs confirmation from the Senate before getting the position.
