सर्जन जनरल की यह जिम्मेदारी होती है कि वह जनता के साथ वैज्ञानिक तथ्यों पर आधारित जानकारी साझा करे ताकि वे अपने स्वास्थ्य में सुधार कर सकें। लेकिन व्यक्तिगत तौर पर मैं यह कहूँगा कि सर्जन जनरल के रूप में मेरा लक्ष्य अमेरिका में रोकथाम की संस्कृति को बढ़ावा देना है, ताकि हम एक ऐसा देश बन सकें जो बीमारी का इलाज करने में जितना माहिर है, उतना ही उसे रोकने में भी सक्षम हो।
The surgeon general is responsible for sharing scientifically-based information with the public so that they can improve their health. But I will say personally that my goal as surgeon general is to help build a culture of prevention in America so that we are a nation that is as good at preventing illness as we are at treating it.

मुझे लगता है कि लोग अक्सर यह भूल जाते हैं कि उनमें कितनी ताकत है। कभी-कभी किसी की जान बचाने के लिए सिर्फ एक आवाज की जरूरत होती है। जब हम अपनी आवाज उठाते हैं, तो हम न सिर्फ किसी की जिंदगी बदल सकते हैं या बचा सकते हैं, बल्कि दूसरे लोगों के लिए भी आवाज उठाने का रास्ता आसान बनाते हैं। अगर हम ओपिऑइड संकट से निपटने के लिए अमेरिका के लोगों की सामूहिक आवाज की ताकत को एक साथ जोड़ लें, तो मुझे इसमें कोई शक नहीं कि हम इस पर काबू पा लेंगे।
I think people often forget how powerful they are. Sometimes it just takes one voice to save a life. When we speak up we can not only change a life or save a life, but we can also make it possible for other people to speak up. If we harness the collective power of people's voices around America to address the opioid epidemic, I have no doubt that we can overcome it.

नशे की लत हमारे समुदायों और हमारे देश को अंदर से खोखला कर रही है, और जब तक हम इसके बारे में नए सिरे से सोचने का फैसला नहीं करते, जब तक हम एक देश के रूप में रोकथाम और इलाज पर निवेश करने का संकल्प नहीं लेते, और जब तक हम बतौर व्यक्ति इस महामारी से निपटने के लिए आगे आकर अपना योगदान देने का निर्णय नहीं लेते, तब तक हम इस समस्या को हल नहीं कर सकते।
Drug addiction is tearing our communities and our country apart, and until we decide we're going to think differently about it, until we decide that we're going to invest as a country in prevention and treatment, until we decide that as individuals we're going to step up and do our part to address this epidemic, we're not going to solve this.

भारतीय-अमेरिकी होने के नाते, मुझमें चेहरे पर बाल (दाढ़ी-मूँछ) उगने की जबरदस्त क्षमता है।

नशे की लत से अकेले निपटना एक बेहद कठिन चुनौती है। जब मैं उन तमाम कहानियों के बारे में सोचता हूँ जो मैंने लोगों से सुनी हैं, तो उनमें एक बात समान होती है—वह यह कि अंततः वे कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति ढूंढ ही लेते हैं जो उनका साथ देने को तैयार हो। शायद वह कोई परिचित हो, जैसे माता-पिता, भाई-बहन या कोई दोस्त; या फिर कभी-कभी यह किसी ऐसे पुनर्वास केंद्र का दयालु स्टाफ होता है जो उनसे उम्मीद नहीं छोड़ता। इसी बात से सबसे बड़ा फर्क पड़ता है।
Drug addiction is an incredibly difficult challenge to manage on one's own. When I think of all the stories I've heard from people, the common denominator is that they all were ultimately able to find somebody who was willing to support them. Maybe it was someone they knew, like a parent or a sibling or a friend; other times it was a treatment center with a compassionate staff who didn't give up on them. That made all the difference.

आज हमारे देश में लाखों लोग अकेलेपन में घुट रहे हैं, यह सोचते हुए कि ड्रग्स की लत से केवल वही जूझ रहे हैं, और उन्हें इस बात का अहसास ही नहीं होता कि उनके आस-पास की कॉलोनी में ही ऐसे दूसरे लोग और परिवार भी हैं। उन्हें लगता है कि वे अकेले हैं और उन्हें लगता है कि लोग उन्हें जज करेंगे, इसलिए वे इस बारे में बात नहीं करना चाहते। लेकिन जब लोग खुद आगे आकर अपनी कहानियाँ साझा करते हैं, तो यह बेहद राहत देने वाला होता है, और इससे दूसरे लोगों को भी अपनी बात खुलकर कहने की हिम्मत मिलती है।
Right now we have millions of people in our country who are suffering in isolation, thinking that they are the only ones who are dealing with drug addiction, who don't realize that on their own block there are other people and families. They think they're alone and they think they're going to be judged and they don't want to talk about it. But when people do come forward and share their stories it's incredibly liberating, and it gives other people permission to tell their stories too.

My weakness is sweets. I like bread pudding and cheesecake in particular.

बहुत से लोगों को इस बात की गलतफहमी है कि सर्जन जनरल वास्तव में क्या काम करता है।
A lot of people have misconceptions about what the surgeon general does.
