In the wake of the Terri Schiavo autopsy results, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has come under renewed fire for past statements that questioned her doctors’ dire assessment of her medical condition, based on his own review of a videotape.Frist, a surgeon and potential presidential candidate in 2008, on Thursday denied that he had contradicted doctors who had said the brain-damaged Florida woman was in a persistent vegetative state before her feeding tube was removed March 18. She died March 31.
“I never made the diagnosis,” Frist said to reporters Thursday. “I wouldn’t even attempt to make a diagnosis based on a videotape.”
But Democratic political operatives circulated transcripts of Frist’s statements in March that clearly questioned the doctors’ diagnosis after he had watched the video footage of Schiavo.
“That footage, to me, depicted something very different than persistent vegetative state,” Frist said March 17 on the Senate floor.
Frist made the comments in March as he and other GOP leaders pushed Congress to approve a bill that aimed, in vain, to prolong Schiavo’s life by allowing federal courts to review her parents’ request that her feeding tube be reattached. President Bush signed the bill into law March 21.
Frist’s statements during debate on that bill drew criticism from medical professionals at the time, and he and his staff previously have insisted his remarks did not represent a diagnosis.
The court cases challenging limits on how many people could be in a church had a better rate of success than the ones challenging mandates in general, I think. Including the S Ct one,
I know people who went there that are nice enough. I guess it was kind of considered a backwater of sorts in those days except the college. Like literally pig farms.
Sorry. Misspoke. It's the virus that's ripping through communities of color.
The copious sweat stains on Darris Friend's shirt is a reminder that it remains very hot and humid in the state of Florida, well into September.
Drawing mutated flies.
Why would god want Floridians?
You're thinking of Jeb! Bush, Charlie Christ became a Democratic candidate after his term. I kind of like him.
Aw hell... Then who was it that said he could diagnose her over a video?

Um...Crist and Frist are quite similar names, so...can I be forgiven for my screw up?
Also, I had no idea First was a surgeon. No wonder he thought he could make a diagnosis from a videotape...
Of course I would be amazed if anyone could keep all the villains straight.😉
I had a friend who went to college there and he called it Pigtown.

I think you can report them but they don't really have a category for: This Asshole is Banned and Why Are You Letting Other People Post His Shit Here?
Cool.
The professors are pretty good. Some other people, sigh...

The vaccine is not killing off many at all. Deaths due to vaccine are rare. COVID, on the other hand....
