Anderson Cooper Swine Flu: Dr. Sanjay Gupta Tentatively Diagnoses CNN Anchor With H1N1 (VIDEO)

On Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday night, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta tentatively diagnosed Cooper with swine flu. Gupta recently came down with the virus himself ("the sickest I've ever been") while traveling in Afghanistan, and was on Cooper's program to talk about swine flu "as a physician and a patient." It quickly developed that the two men had seen each other in Afghanistan, and, as Gupta revealed to Cooper, it was highly likely that he also caught the flu while traveling.

"You and I talked about this while we were both in Afghanistan, and you were quite sick as well," Gupta said. "And I came to find out later on that H1N1... was circulating quite a bit, Anderson, in the area that we were in."

"Was it really? No one mentioned that to us... at least to me." Cooper and Gupta both laughed briefly.

Gupta pressed on earnestly, "I know, I mean, frankly speaking we can talk about this now via satellite... but there's a good chance... that you also had H1N1 virus infection."

Given the current Trivalent Flu strain ,miss-named Swine Flu, and the current Vaccine Propaganda to get vaccinated, and the effects of any vaccine to potentially cause body damage. Please see the video series of DR Andrew Moulden. This is landmark research and diagnostic evidence. http://www.youtube. com/user/ informationsansp rix#p/c/5B173BE9 9A025F19/ 0/32D_nIGtSnw

I want you all to BE Well and Stay Well !

That doctor is so unprofessional and irresponsible; becoming symptomatic over at the once-great CNN.

Is H1N1 what grayed Cooper's hair at such a young age?

I saw this last night and damn near fell out my chair. Like whoa! Dr. Sanjay should have given Cooper a heads up.

Saw Cooper riding his bike in Chelsea today, with a friend. He's not that good looking (Cooper).

Harry Smith pretended to have swine flu too.

"Um, I've been meaning to call you. Look, don't freak out or anything, but I went to see my doctor, and well... um, he thinks it'd be a good idea if you got yourself checked out too."

Crazy right? Dr. Sanjay left Anderson hanging, big time.

Gupta is just part of the medical establishment.
Recently I was hospitalized for a few hours at the ironically named Ronald Reagan Medical Center. It is the first time I was ever hospitalized. It is one of the most expensive hospitals in the world. No expense has been spared to build it a couple of years ago. They have all the most "modern" equipment.
It took me an hour to see a doctor. In 4 more hours of agony I say only two nurses, who assured me they would have me well soon. Finally I only saw one doctor, the discharging doctor.
He immediately discharged after only 20% of the IV was administered. I was ok by then and wanted to get out of there. Meanwhile the attendant threatened me and wouldn't call a cab.
This is the level of compassionate medicine we have. My wife died there just months earlier.
I would avoid any ER there in the future.

Poor them. I'm glad they are OK, and sure hope it doesn't hit us hard here in the US, or anywhere, for that matter. I'm surprised they weren't given Tamiful, but maybe they didn't have it to give.

Get a room you two... and stop looking at each other like that...C'm­on HP... this is news???

I remember that Anderson sounded horrible and looked incredibly stuffed up during his shots from Afghanistan. If he could have H1N1 and just be walking around doing his job, he one tough cookie! Kudos to "my boo".
