In March, while a memo circulated among Republican senators calling the Terri Schiavo case “a great political issue,” Dr. Bill Frist, a cardiologist and the Senate Republican Leader, stood up “more as a physician than as a United States Senator,” to voice his opinion on the issue. He had spent an hour watching a videotape of Schiavo, he said. Despite the contrary opinions of doctors who had actually examined and treated the patient over fifteen years, he concluded that Terri Schiavo was not in a persistant vegetative state.
In a blog entry at the time, I wrote:
Either Frist is one hell of a doctor, or he’s a very poor excuse for a man.
Well, now we know.
