The Associated Press reports that Senate Majority leader Bill Frist, Republican, and a doctor, has gone down to Louisiana to treat hurricane victims:
The senator spent the day treating diabetics for low blood sugar and dealing with cases of high blood pressure and dehydration. Though he is a surgeon by training, there was no need to perform surgery on Saturday, he said. After overnighting in Nashville, Tenn., following his day in New Orleans, Frist planned to return to the Gulf Coast on Sunday to work in storm-ravaged areas of Mississippi and Alabama, as well as returning with supplies to New Orleans.
Meanwhile, Frist's fellow politician/physician, Democrat Party Chair Howard Dean is issuing press releases attacking Frist for his position on the estate tax.
"What's Dean's specialty?"
Proctology?
Initially, I read this as 'Pubbies do while Dems crap.'
Probably the same thing.
I did a search to find out what his specialty is...couldn't find anything specific.
Diarrhea of the mouth
Dean's from Vermont, not New Hampshire.
I'm pretty sure he's a Pediatrician
Abortion was Dean's specialty!
Would you want Mad Howard working on you...?
"What's Dean's specialty?"
Being an idiot.
I'm wondering if Dean's medical license is in good standing.
the oath is why he is not there. Do no harm. not to mention edwards is watching him.
The Vermont Medical Board site lists his specialty as Internal Medicine and his License is "Active"
Regardless of Dean's speciality, he is still a licensed physician and should be, in order for his license to remain in good standing, able to treat emergency patients.
Maybe Dr. Dean could sedate Mary Landreau and Gov. Blanco?
Those that can do; those that can't, criticize.
Hey! No bein' reasonable when we're bashin' Howie! :)
Speaking of Landrieu.....she said the scenes are so traumatic that the people ought not be allowed to see their homes.
I thought the same thing two days ago and it's good to see someone else say it!
WHERE is that "altruistic, devoted" physician, Howard Dean while Frist is working his heart out to help the helpless??
