2. Everyone from the AMA to the Daily Show...
nailing him, and even his best friends are keeping away from that one.

Glad to see the pantloads have finally jumped the shark.

9. OK, I didn't hear anything...
specific about the AMA censuring him, but a whole bunch of highly placed doctors have been getting very testy about his "diagnosis."

It's just not the thing doctors are supposed to do. Even your TV doctors, columnists, and websites never, ever, offer a diagnosis over the air or in a reply. All they ever do is describe whatever they're describing. They never proffer the idea that YOU have it, or if you do have it, how YOU should be treated.

I get the very real impression that many important people in the profession are very disturbed about this obvious display of quackery, although some of them ight not be willing to make official statement about a very powerful Senator.

12. I wonder if it could be squeezed into the definition of malpractice.
I think he said "I don't think..." or "I don't believe..." which of course is what the attorneys told Rove to tell him to say after they untangled from their giant repuke circle jerk.

If he had said "she isn't in a PVS" period, he'd probably be in deeper shit.

4. well, what a f***** idiot! what kind of physician...
...would look at a videotape -- a fuggin' VIDEOTAPE! -- and go on national television to make a life/death DIAGNOSIS?!?!?!?

The AMA should kick his ass, or at least reprimand him. What a shameless panderer to the emotions of the mob.
they could have shown him a fucking BARNEY video and he would have gone on camera and declared that Terri Schiavo was a living human being.

Is there a video link for Best Week Ever? The Daily Show clip was awesome!

7. Frist admitted adopting cats for medical experiments
Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 03:42 AM by Erika
and lying about it. Neither Frist or DeLay have any moral basis for their rants.

10. If Frist, THE CAT BUTCHER, experiences political fall out from --
-- his ridiculous assertion of diagnosis-by-video tape, well, it's REALLY fine with me.

11. If you, as you have here, recognize what an ass is Frist . . .
Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 04:04 AM by TaleWgnDg
.
If you, as you have here, recognize what an ass is Frist . . . when he hypocritically espouses medical crap as true medical insight . . . just think about what we, lawyers, understand about all the shit and crap that is espoused by all these rightwingnuts (including Frist) in the name of "law and order" and other alleged legal indicia!! <puke>
