Sometimes the unfathomable puts you were you need to be. Glad to know Sanjay was in just that place. The Ethics of Journalism colliding with the Ethics of Medicine...I think Sanjay did what he was meant to do!

It is great to see some recognition for these unsung heros. There would be many more deaths without them. Give them our best. They make all of us proud.

I'm glad Sanjay is helping out when asked; as a doctor I don't see how he could do much else. In his story last night he told us about a 2 year old that was operated on, I hope the child is still alive, has a good prognosis, and that Sanjay will give us an update on him tonight.

American soldiers are tough man and women who fallow orders into the battlefields.. Afghan/Taliban soldiers are tough man and women who fallow orders into the battlefields.. Moral of the story? 1st) Two wrongs don’t make one right. And 2nd) Do we really want to bring South Central LA to Afghanistan at every cost? What seems to be the tread to the cookie jar? We don’t even own Budweiser anymore. Do we really have any prospecting hopes there? I mean other then destroying their families and moral fabric just to get even for 9/11. Like we did to the Russians for giving us the cold war..?!

Take care and return safely.

We are grateful that you are showing us the trials and tribulations of the battle zone but we would like for you and Anderson to return in one piece...alive.

I found Sanjay's report last night to be very interesting and informative. I am glad to hear he's not afraid to help when asked - as I'm sure his skills can be put to good use in that Afghan field hospital. Looking forward to more reports from Dr. Gupta this week.

Thank you so much for bringing both medical skill and journalistic skill to those who need it. You use your hands, mind , and voice for the betterment of mankind.

God Bless you for what you do Dr Sanjay. He put you there for a reason.

Dr. Gupta,
Regarding Dr, A. Brown,
He is of the finest kind and we all should be in his debt.
His commitment and sacrifice is beyond compare, I would like to offer a small reward to his family. please farward my offer to dinner for his wife and family at McCormick & Schmicks, CNN or Dunwoody Ga.

That is the least that I can do.

Just watched the piece on a vascular surgeon in Afghanistan. The report stated the Major was the only vascular surgeon in Afghanistan.I have a couple of questions who is managing this war in Afghanistan and why is there only one vascular surgeon in country? We have service men and woman being gravely injured in this country and it would be criminal to lose someone for lack of enough vascular surgeons.

BTW I forgot the 43 year old vascular surgeon's name but thank you and stay safe.

Well stated Tim. Dr. Gupta is exceptional as well as dedicated to his family, the world of medicine and journalism. May God bless him and keep him safe. I look forward to Dr. Gupta's report tonight and letting us know the condition of little 2-year-old Malik.

Thank-you for fighting for our safety ! What do you see medically that you don't have,you wished you did ?

Why did the CNN editors pick such a "bug-eyed", fearful picture of Dr. Sanjay Gupta to post? You want to present him as a Heroic Volunteer Medical Doctor instead of a fearful novice as depicted in the photo. When more medical Doctors volunteer for combat duty in time of war, we as a Nation and a powerful effective Military, will all be in a better position in the world. Choose better photos!

Right time, right place,,,,, thank you Sanjay....you too, are a hero.....

Hello Anderson,

Great coverage in Afghanistan; be so very safe. Please ask Dr. Gupta to talk about the role of the nurses in the war efforts.

Convey my thanks to everyone who are defending our nation's honor in Afghanistan.

We ran out of them after driving the Russians out; and Osama bin Laden came in with the Taliban.

Then we came in and drove the Taliban again; deserting them for Iraq.

Now a great many want to desert them again! No wonder they cannot trust us.

What we need in Afghanistan is 100 Greg Mortenson's, thousands of schools and good works, ngo's all over the place.

Use the money from less Stingers, Probe's and bombs to help the people - and use guys like Mortenson and the Central Pacific Institute to spend the money.

They need the good life, too.....

Now a great many here in the US want to desert them again! No wonder they cannot trust us.

Please stay safe. This is what any doctor should do.

Sanjay, you are indeed a miracle man, thank you and yes I hope that we do indeed hear more from you while out there as a journalist and fine neuro-surgeon, please stay safe .......

God Bless our Sons and Daughters. Both my Sons made it home ok from Fallujah with EOD Units, but my best friends daughter is @ Camp Dwyer and Leatherneck with the Bravo Medical Co. 72222. If you could find Lt. JG Phyllis Dykescould you give her a BIG HUG from her MOM and Debbie? Thank you

dr. sanjay you are a true hero... please be save over there both you and anderson.. i pray for both of you and all of our troops while you are there !!!!! please stay safe...

Bless you doc...as for Anderson... I find him part of the creepy left after all his heinous words and attitude....about American citizens on July 4th....I don't want him near our troops.

In this case, he is first a doctor even if the patient is an ennemy and I think that most of us know that.

I'm so glad that Sanjay was able to step in and help. As a doctor there is no way he could turn down such a request and I don't think that it causes a conflict of interest with his reporting. He is a medical journalist and a doctor which makes him a unique type of reporter. I pray that you all stay safe while in Afghanistan and that all our soldiers come home safe as well.

P.S. Tell Michael Ware to be more careful. His honest reporting is highly valued.

Dear Dr. Sanjay
Thank You! admiration for what you do both as a Surgeon and journalist. Some how we in the medical field never hesitate to lend our skills in any situation. To save a life, end suffering and mend a broken body.
Well done you have touched my heart...
