  7. Jonathan Fielding, the public's MD

    If you've got your health, the cliche goes, you've got just about everything. If you've got public health duties, you're responsible for just about everything from mosquitoes (West Nile carriers) to hygiene (wash your hands for as long as it takes to sing &quot;Happy Birthday" twice). Dr. Jonathan Fielding heads <a href="http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/">L.A. County's Department of Public Health</a>, which is bigger than some states' health departments.

Here he takes the temperature of the medical and political aspects of his work.
