Former Patients of Dr. Frist Urged to Get 2nd Opinion



There's a kick-ass editorial writer at Kentucky's Lexington Herald-Leader:

Political malpractice

Somewhere in Tennessee there are former patients of Bill Frist, who was a practicing physician before he entered the U.S. Senate.

If Frist issued them a clean bill of health, we implore them to get a second opinion.

This is especially important if he examined them by watching them on TV.

This stunt contributed to the low public approval of Congress, but the autopsy is another blow to those who thought they could use a dying woman to score a few political points.

They were wrong about Schiavo's condition. We hope the public remembers that during the next holier-than-thou charade.

There's more . .
