OMG, ex-Sentor Bill Frist now believes in climate change and protecting

the environment! Just got the latest magazine from The Nature Conservancy and they have a write-up about him. Apparently, he's been named to their board. Here's a quote:

"I have seen firsthand how the spread of infectious disease, Zika virus, issues around clean water and cholera, and insufficient food supplies are exacerbated by a changing climate. These changes represent some of the greatest health risks of the 21st century."

Also, he's probably suffering property devaluation somewhere, so suddenly it's a real issue for him.

Dr. Telemedicine just woke up and smelled the reality.

Is he diagnosing ecosystems by video now, a la Terri Schiavo?

He was one of the earliest republican supporters of health care reform after spending time studying Britain's health care system.
