CNN Reporter Sanjay Gupta Gets Swine Flu

In something of an irony, CNN’s chief medical correspondent has been diagnosed as having Swine Flu. Both, he and camera man, Scottie McWhinnie, were diagnosed with the H1N1 Swine Flu virus  when reporting from Afghanistan.

The usual symptoms of nausea, body pain, high fevers, the lack of appetite, sinus congestion, body aches, hacking, were all reported by Gupta who was reported here as saying this was the “sickest I have ever been”.  Gupta is an assistant professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine and associate chief of the neurosurgery service at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

Whereas in usual course Gupta and his cameraman would have visited the battlefield hospital as correspondents, this time it was in order to seek medical assistance.
