In the first days after the quake, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta exmained an infant’s injured head and gave her a superficial neurological exam that indicated her limbs moved ok and said he thought she would be ok and then kissed his hand an “applied” the kiss to the child. Very moving to watch. CNN, though, kept playing the clip over and over and then an abbreviated version of it even days later. The repeating the clip smacked badly of making show-biz out of the tragedy.
Gupta has also performed neurosurgery while in Haiti. This is from the Times of India
