Side note - how DO these people end up in places like West Virginia?? No offense to anyone from that region, but it's not exactly hoppin with immigrant doctors...Apparently Dr. Gupta's fact-checking interns found several discrepancies in some statistics used in Michael Moore's recently-released documentary "Sicko."
Quite honestly I don't know who to believe... Dr. Gupta is like GORGEOUS and is probably the fantasy boyfriend of every queer South Asian man in the US! AND the guy is a doctor and professor at Emory University! He's definitely every South Asian mother's dream come true...
I can just hear South Asian moms every where saying,
"Beta, if you only met a nice and handsome man like Dr. Sanjay Gupta. You know he is not only Doctor but he's also got this job at CNN...
You know Aunty Nasreen's son - you know the one who graduated from Princeton na... he just settled down with this really handsome Gujrati man.
Beta... leave these pale Amrikan guys you meet all the time and find yourself a nice Indian or Pakistani or even a Bengali husband! That is what I say"
Anyways, I digress.
Soooo... yeah - Michael Moore vs. Dr. Gupta on Larry King live of all places. It definitely beats watching WWIV (or whatever the initials are for that wrestling group).
I haven't seen Sicko yet, but I'm going to guess that the health-care statistics used by Moore and Gupta are both skewed to favor their own views on the subject. Sort of like the whole "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" thing... (wait, is that the right adage... hmmmm....)
Anywho's enjoy the show!
