#1 I didn't see Gupta's stuff, but did listen to all of Mikey's bluster. He goes off for a long time on the war, attacking CNN and the main stream media because they "failed to ask the hard questions and get the honest answers" on the war.

"Honest answers" would be the ones Mikey wants to hear. Just answer your own questions, Blimpo.

#6 Wikipedia:

In 2003, Gupta traveled to Iraq to cover the medical aspects of 2003 invasion of Iraq. While in Iraq, Gupta performed emergency surgery on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. One such case was a young marine named Jesus Vidana. Gupta was embedded with a Marine medical unit at the time. Vidana had a severe head injury and the Marines asked for Gupta's assistance because of his background in neurosurgery. Vidana survived and was sent back to the United States for rehabilitation.

I like this man.

#7 Agreed Mike. Gupta seems to have his heart in the right place.

#8 While in Iraq, Gupta performed emergency surgery on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

IIRC, Gupta was criticized by some in the MSM for doing this.

#9 That's because he actually followed the Hippocratic oath, not the Hypocritical oath, xb!

#10 BA - 10-4.

See this is the trouble with MSM and journalists in particular. They believe that if you were a doctor, lawyer, or in Michael Yon's case a SFs soldier, you can never again perform your other job once you become one of them. Every time Bill Frist got involved in a medical emergency, the journalists first reaction was that he was grandstanding and somehow caused the accident so he could use his medical training for "political" purposes. I wonder how one of them would feel if while embedded with Gupta their Humvee got IED'd and asked Gupta for help but he refused because he was now a "journalist" but he would make every effort to spell their name correctly.

#12 10 years ago when I began to run across Canadien doctors that were practicing in rural Kentucky for an upgrade, I wondered how Canada was staffing its wonderful health care system. Within the last fortnight I learned the answer.

#13 Yes, Canadians all over are dying for lack of health care. Please send donations and band-aids (and a few insurance companies too) up north. Just think what a few cents can do for a Canadian dying of lack of health care. But please hurry, U.S. dollars won't be worth as much up here soon.
