I saw something about this yesterday and my first thought was “I wonder if he is being considered simply b/c Obama saw him on TV.”

Go back in history to the start of this war on terror..he was covering the stories I think in Afhgahanstan, and there was a critically wounded soldier brought in and they did not have a surgeon there who could treat the soldier. Gupta dove scrubbed in and took over the surgery to save a life. He got hell from some in the media since he was there to cover a story..but his reaction as a doctor took first place. Maybe someone with more skill at finding this story can help with more details,
