FILE - Sanjay Gupta arrives at Sean Parker and the Parker Foundation's Gala Celebrating a Milestone in Medical Research in Los Angeles. on April 13, 2016.
They have a fine line to walk, needing to decide what level of speculation — if any — that they’re comfortable with, how much to read into medications the president has been prescribed and how to explain the course of a virus so new that it still confounds the people who study it.“You try to put the pieces of the puzzle together,” said CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who logged hours comparable to his residency days in the wake of Trump’s announcement.
CBS News’ Dr. John LaPook is less definitive, but believes that’s the case “because if he had a chest x-ray and it was normal, they would be shouting it from the rooftops.” Ashton also objects to how some in the media have pinned percentages on Trump’s likely survival. Dr. Martin Makary said on Fox News Channel that Trump had a 99.4 percent chance of surviving COVID-19; CNN’s Gupta said it’s “90 to 95 percent” that he’ll get through.
CNN’s Gupta has been particularly critical of Trump’s team for not releasing more medical information, and is a translator after medical briefings to outline what has and hasn’t been said and what it all means. When Trump climbed an outdoor staircase upon his return to the White House and exhibited shortness of breath, that was pointed to by several commentators as a sign of his illness.
dbauder Then maybe they shouldn’t....just sayin’
dbauder Youre amazed that 99.08% of people who get it recover and the vast majority have little to no symptoms to begin with morons
dbauder Are people still thinking that this Gupta chap is credible and unbiased?
dbauder Thought this was TheOnion article.
dbauder Maybe you Twitter MDs should stay in your lane? Let the actual pros at Walter Reed take care of the President. You've all been catastrophically wrong so far, anyway.

dbauder That’s not news. That’s a “story” and there is a huge difference. Only Trump’s doctors should be interviewed on his condition. HIPAA is a bear for journalism.
dbauder He faked it...
dbauder Dude hasn’t seen a patient in years, he’s a talking head.
dbauder Because they should be guessing about non-patients.
dbauder He should stick to his speciality— neurosurgery!
dbauder FORCED HYSTERECTOMIES?
dbauder It’s called... malpractice
dbauder See. Nothing to hide. (Part II) 👀
dbauder GOPDeathCult
dbauder drsanjaygupta Just make it up. That’s the CNN norm.
dbauder What makes this any different than anything the media does, they report their personal opinions not the facts
dbauder No respect for drsanjaygupta
dbauder isn't remote diagnosing a huge no-no?
dbauder LOL..... TV doctors: I can’t just look at him and see that the farcical ‘covid is death!’ ...is just not true. Dude looks healthy, dammit!’
dbauder Isn't that the same doctor who said he could see 'Covid spillage' in the chest xray of Chris Cuomo, and his response was just 'fair enough' when actual radiologists called him out for just making it up?
dbauder We saw how Gupta likes to sensationalize Covid. Remember Cuomo? Dude was in “bad” shape but yet got caught out and about with his family in the Hamptons.
dbauder Just curious do we even know the 3 WH journslists eho have COVID ... since you know they are so worried about transparency
dbauder It’s not up to “medical experts at news organizations” to assess the President’s health. It’s up the non-media actual medical experts who treat him.
dbauder he's clearly on his last legs 🙄
dbauder He does a great job.
dbauder I would rather have an independent mental Heath review! To see if trump is fit mentally to be president! We need to know if a crazy person is our president!
dbauder How many Covid19 patients has CNN expert Gupta treated? ZERO !
dbauder So they can tell how he’s doing just my looking at him? 🙄
dbauder It’s nobodies business. Trump just like any other American has his rights to privacy about his medical health. Don’t tell me because he is president that he loses that.
dbauder “You try to make things up that are entertaining.”
dbauder They’re all frauds, he’s already negative
dbauder so ya, so they think the news media doctors should be able to examine the Presidents from now on? uh no. The AP is crazy
dbauder COVID-19 is a political game!
dbauder No ethically sound MD would speculate and publicly comment on another's health without first examining them in person. Gupta just plays a doctor on TV. A lousy one at that. 🤷♀️
dbauder That’s right… So they need to shut up about it. They are not his doctor and have nothing to do with him.
dbauder The Doctors on TV trying to assess POTUS condition are ethically challenged at best.
dbauder Not much of an expert if he is talking about someone condition that he hasn't even examined
dbauder It helps to have real pieces, not just fake pieces...
dbauder 1) Trump lies about everything 2) Trump had his doctors at Walter Reed sign nondisclosure agreements in 2019 (why would they agree to that?) 3) Trump is PresidentSuperSpreader
dbauder Or maybe it’s one big act
dbauder could we ask Sanjay about Trump's bluish fingers in that video yesterday? could this be similar to Covid toes?
dbauder That's not a problem though. Just keep with the speculation.
dbauder AP assists in the next scandal manufacturing.
dbauder Sanjay should go live a better life.
dbauder
dbauder Refuses to call him liar though. Tippy toes and p*ssy foots. It's old now.
