The bottom line is that Sanjay Gupta stayed and the patients lived. The Belgian doctors ran and abandoned their patients, not in response to an actual threat.

Had the Belgians had even false reports of a mob or other threat that mitigate their behavior, but apparently that's not the case.

"Do Not Abandon A Patient In Distress" is right up there with The 10 Commandments for most doctors I've known. Sanjay Gupta did not, whatever his motives, and the Belgians did, apparently before having reason to do so. The Belgians are more likely to have to explain themselves back home than Sanjay Gupta.
