Open Thread…Just curious

This is not a big deal and don’t want to make it such. I’m just curious as to people’s reactions to this photo. ABC News reports on a study of the effects of Katrina on the treatment of people with chronic disease such as diabetes and runs this photo with theonline article…

My first reaction was wow they actually found a picture of someone checking their blood sugar in a rescue helicopter over flooded NOLA? That’s incredible. Then I thought it must be a photoshop and it is–see photo here. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that–we bloggers do it all the time but I didn’t realize ABC did. That aside, the photo does make the point for the article but I find it uncomfortable for some reason which I can’t quite express. Do you have any thoughts or reaction? I just offer for discussion
