dr. sanjay gupta takes a look, a close look at problems in this country, and it leads to one death every 19 minutes. that's a startling statistic. dr. sanjay gupta m.d. starts right now. >>> good morning. thanks for being with us. one thing you may know about me if you watch this program, i love gadgets. but even i would say the amount of technology in our lives can sometimes be overwhelming. so i've been on the hunt for technology that can truly improve our health and maybe make it easier to get healthy and to say that way. for example, something like this. this is a blood pressure cuff. they say you should have one in your home. this one actually links up to your iphone and possibly communicates with your doctor as well. i'm going to demonstrate it in a little bit. and i'm going to hit on something a little bit touchy in our world. remember when chef paula deen announced she had diabetes. a lot of people voicing their opinion, i told you so. that's what you get for cooking such incredibly rich food. we wish paula deen the best. we love her. i want to take another approach. sam talbot, a
