A firsthand account of H1N1

Well if he was looking for an angle to tell the story, he now has it. CNN's well known medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta is now able to report on the H1N1 flu from the perspective of a patient. Dr. Gupta contracted the virus in Afghanistan and wrote about his experience as a physician/patient in his blog. Personal experiences color our communication with others. It will be interesting to see how the experiences of high-profile patients like Dr. Gupta will influence communication about H1n1.
