Bill Frist has just convinced me

[Skidmore]

that the thing worse than a lawyer practicing medicine, is a physician practicing law. On with Blitzer now. What an annoying specimen.

Actually, I don't think Frist is a real physician either. He looks like that undertaker man in the Phantasm movies.

3. Frist and cats:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Frist_medical_school_experiments_controversy

While he was a medical school student, Bill Frist (now a Republican U.S. Senator from Tennessee) performed medical experiments on shelter cats while researching the use of drugs on the mitral valve. By his own account, Frist improperly obtained these cats from Boston animal shelters, falsely telling shelter staff he was adopting the cats as pets. In his 1989 book Transplant, Frist admitted that he killed these cats during medical experiments at Harvard Medical School, as part of his studies.

In his book, Frist explained that he succumbed to the pressure to succeed in a highly competitive medical school. Frist stated that he "treat them as pets for a few days" before he "cart them off to the lab to die." He went on to say, "And I was totally schizoid about the entire matter. By day, I was little Billy Frist, the boy who lived on Bowling Avenue in Nashville and had decided to become a doctor because of his gentle father and a dog named Scratchy. By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career. In short, I was going a little crazy."

"I lost my supply of cats. I only had six weeks to complete my project before I resumed my clinical rotations. Desperate, obsessed with my work, I visited the various animal shelters in the Boston suburbs, collecting cats . . . it was a heinous and dishonest thing to do."

(I snipped some of the more gruesome details from the post, so be warned). :puke:
