Dr. Gupta Catches Swine Flu

[lordsmurf]

Gupta has long been an expert consult used by CNN and other news orgs. I remember him for at least 6 years now, but he was probably around even further back.

Obama had even considered him for a cabinet posts earlier this year, when he took office.

Anyway, the doc caught the H1N1 "swine" flu! Sort of amusing, in a way.

It is worth pointing out the irony of a medical reporter getting influenza type A, which was then ultimately confirmed as H1N1. (The term swine flu is a misnomer, as this strain is made up of several different components, including swine, but also avian parts.)
