Medical practice

Dr. Gupta specializes in all facets of neurosurgical care with a strong interest in complicated spine, trauma and 3-D image guided operations[citation needed]. He has recently had articles published in the Journal of Neurosurgery and Neurosurgical Focus on percutaneous pedicle screw placement[citation needed]. He has also published on brain tumors and spinal cord abnormalities[citation needed].


Michael Moore controversy

A July 9, 2007 broadcast of CNN's The Situation Room aired a "fact check" segment in which Gupta attempted to verify facts in Michael Moore's 2007 film Sicko.[2] Immediately following the segment, Moore was interviewed live on CNN by Wolf Blitzer. Moore stated that Gupta's report was inaccurate and biased, and later posted a detailed response on his website.[3] Moore accused CNN and Gupta of being biased in favor of the drug industry because most of the sponsors for their medical coverage, including Dr. Gupta's reports, were drug companies. On July 15, 2007, CNN released a statement in response to Michael Moore's rebuttal. In it, they apologized for a single error in their on-air report, having stated that in the film Moore reported Cuba spends $25 per person for health care when the film actually reported that number to be $251. CNN blamed this on a transcription error which was corrected on-air multiple times in the following days.[4] CNN defended the rest of Dr. Gupta's report and issued a point-by-point response to Moore's response in which CNN contended that Moore's comparison of data from different sources in different years was in effect "cherry picking" results, at the cost of statistical accuracy.[5] In that statement CNN also admitted that Gupta had committed a second error in the King interview regarding the background of one of the commentators.

Merck Gardasil controversy

A July 25, 2007 article on the left-wing counterpunch.org accuses Gupta of publicly backing the drug Gardasil (a cervical cancer drug) while at the same time being significantly sponsored by the manufacturer, Merck. Gupta's television show "AccentHealth" is underwritten by Merck. url=http://www.counterpunch.org/martens07202007.html In politics, left-wing, political left, leftism, or simply the left, are terms which refer (with no particular precision) to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of socialism, social democracy, or liberalism (especially in the American sense of the word), or with opposition...
