A Tale of Two Doctors (Frist tends to Katrina's sick; Dean issues Press Releases Attacking Frist)
Federal Review ^ | 9/05/05

Posted on 09/05/2005 12:21:15 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

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?

Pubbies do while Dems carp.

Initially, I read this as 'Pubbies do while Dems crap.'

Probably the same thing.

If Dean really wanted to help, I know where he could get a boat.

I was wondering if Howie had offered his expertise as a doctor.

Would you want Mad Howard working on you...?

I'm wondering if Dean's medical license is in good standing.

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?

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??
