Puhleeze!
David Bauder, the AP Television Writer is wringing his hands - Medical Reporter Performs Surgery in Iraq:
While reporting on a U.S. Navy (news - web sites) medical team in Iraq (news - web sites) on Thursday, CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta unexpectedly became part of the story when asked to perform emergency brain surgery. The 2-year-old Iraqi boy did not survive.

As the only neurosurgeon available to treat a patient with a severe brain injury, Gupta said it was his moral duty to help. But it raised questions about the blurring of roles between doctor and journalist.
Say what? The only questions I have are about what the Hell they are teaching in Journalism school these days.
