Dr. Sanjay Gupta House
He hand-picked and purchased everything in his home. A home, according to Sanjay, should represent a person’s travels and personality. His property includes four stories, with a magnificent foyer, a guest bedroom and bathroom, and a big home theater on the main level. The first level features a wide L-shaped living area, a kitchen, and a spacious and open sit-out with various plants, as well as a stunning staircase with large paintings and sculptures. The balcony is light and airy, with attractive seating options.
At the entry to the living room, there is a sophisticated piano, and on the right side, there are clusters of comfortable-looking sofas. A small bar area and a large dining table filled with long-stemmed, fresh flowers occupy the other end of the living room. Sanjay is acutely aware of his surroundings in a manner that few men are — from the plants, furniture, art, and sculpture to the tiniest details of the interior design.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta Medical Career

He’s written on percutaneous pedicle screw placement, brain tumors, and spinal cord anomalies in medical journals. In Georgia, he is licensed to practice medicine.
Gupta received a call from the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson while reporting in Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake that an earthquake victim, a 12-year-old girl, was aboard and needed a neurosurgeon. In an operation performed onboard the USS Vinson, Gupta, a pediatric surgeon named Henri Ford, and two US Navy doctors removed a fragment of concrete from the girl’s head. Gupta “proven to be a capable neurosurgeon,” Ford later wrote.
He was one of fifteen White House Fellows from 1997 to 1998, primarily serving as an advisor to Hillary Clinton. Gupta was offered the position of Surgeon General of the United States in the Obama Administration in January 2009, but he withdrew his name from consideration.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Michael Moore
Gupta did a fact-check piece on Michael Moore’s 2007 film Sicko on CNN’s The Situation Room on July 9, 2007, in which he indicated that Moore “fudged facts.” Moore was interviewed live on CNN by Wolf Blitzer shortly after the segment. Moore called Gupta’s article “inaccurate and biased,” and he responded with a lengthy statement on his website. Moore accused CNN of being biased in favor of the pharmaceutical industry because drug firms were the majority of the sponsors for its medical coverage.
Gupta challenged Moore on Larry King Live on July 10, 2007, and CNN issued a statement in response to Moore’s rebuttal on July 15, 2007. They apologized for an error in their on-air report, in which they indicated that Moore reported in the film that Cuba spends $25 per person on health care, when the film really stated $251. This was attributed to a transcription error by CNN. CNN defended the rest of Gupta’s story, replying to Moore’s rebuttal point-by-point, claiming that comparing data from different sources in different years amounted to cherry-picking conclusions at the expense of statistical accuracy.
