CNN’s medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta (a neurosurgeon) has been with a medical unit that does not have a neurosurgeon. So when an IRaqi child who needed brain surgery came in, they asked CNN’s doctor for help. He did. And now, no one can stop talking about it. Am I wrong? I think it is great he tried to save the boy (who later died), but isn’t that his job? He may have been there for CNN but he is a doctor, took an oath, etc. In fact, CNN wouldn’t pay him if he weren’t a doctor–that’s at the essence of his TV-news career as much as his medical career. I’m pretty sure the only reason this is a big deal is because CNN is making it so, for understandable reasons, but I just want to make sure I’m not wrong here. Seems to me like another example of journalistic egotism–not from him, but from all the outlets covering the story (his photo is on the wires, etc.).
