Busy Gupta performs brain surgery, reports for CNN

My husband has practiced Internal medicine for 30 years, I have practiced Internal medicine for 16 years. We both voted for and support PE Obama in his desire to make our country better, however this choice is a bad and unfortunate one for the American people. My husband and I recently attended one of our annual medical conventions on diabetes, insulin resistance and coronary artery disease. In attendance were physicians from every field: Endocrinology, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Surgery, General Medicine, Gynecology, etc. When Dr.Gupta's name was mentioned, the dislike for this doctor was well demonstrated by the multitude of doctors and other practitioners in attendance. And that was not the first time this has happened at a medical convention. The displeasure stems from his television style of medicine including jumping on the bandwagon of unfounded study results without full understanding of the big picture, thereby causing panic where it has not been warranted. Sad, but true. Unfortunately, PE. Obama's team has pulled a "McCain". His team failed big time to really vet Dr. Gupta and check out his pandering to Pharmaceutical companies and as aforementioned, jumping on the bandwagon of certain study results without really investigating them. Unfortunately it appears PE Obama really has no clue who Dr. Gupta is or what he has done to not only discredit the medical community but also mislead the American people with his pandering to pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Gupta is neither an advocate for patients nor is he a supporter of his own medical community in trying to give doctors back control in practicing medicine instead of letting the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies dictate care.

Not to be flip, but if what the above poster says is true sounds like Gupta will fit in well in DC Land.
