As a doctor, It would be very bad if he just held a microphone instead of helping.

To those of you who are so cynical, how about you join the military or volunteer for a relief organization who will needing help in Haiti. Life is precious and if it weren't for camera's, etc, we couldn't see the devastation first hand. It is hard to watch but overcome your own fears and look at what the Haitian people are facing firsthand. Dr. Gupta cares. He's a doctor first. He's said that many, many times and he was summoned by the Uncle to come look because they knew he was a neurosurgeon.

@ Sara, I too was watching and he had to stop and collect himself. After all, the anchors and reporters are human and to see such suffering on a mass level as they have, how can you not have moments where you want to cry too. I truly believe they will have to have some sort of counseling because they will be having nightmares for years to come, IMO.

I have to vote for Dr. Gupta as one of the world's most wonderful men. That was amazing to watch.

He didn't do anything. I could change a bandage with someone's help just like he did. If he wants to help, then get off camera and assist those practicing "jungle medicine" as he called it, set some broken bones, pick up a brick, hand out a bottle of water. He's useless there.

OK. While you are in front of the computer doing absolutely NOTHING but harping and sniping away at what others are doing to help, can you at least pretend to have a heart. Your comments are useless. But YOU don't have to be. Do something...besides bitch and moan about other peoples efforts to help.

He is an amazing man to be there helping. My heart aches for a 15 year old baby now without a mother.. without her mother's milk to nourish her.. how will they feed her? I hope she makes it through this horrible event!

He did this before in Iraq (maybe Afghanistan) - a soldier came in very wounded & needed surgery that the docs there couldn't do but he could. I was a little disappointed when he decided not to become Surgeon General b/c I knew he'd be good at the job.

I saw him on Anderson Cooper 360 last night and you could just see how pained he was to witness the loss of human life and the injuries. It was palpable. I thought he was going to cry, seriously. And in this clip he clearly feels better and empowered by his ability to help in the best way he knows how.

I did too. Anderson Cooper had a few of those moments, and tonight when I was watching Brian Williams on MSNBC, I though he was going to lose it for a minute.

I suspect that's why he went to Haiti, to be there for head injuries.

God Bless you, Sanjay Gupta.
All the best to you, little girl.
