Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), a renowned heart surgeon before becoming Senate majority leader, went to the floor late Thursday night for the second time in 12 hours to argue that Florida doctors had erred in saying Terri Schiavo is in a "persistent vegetative state."
"I question it based on a review of the video footage which I spent an hour or so looking at last night in my office," he said in a lengthy speech in which he quoted medical texts and standards. "She certainly seems to respond to visual stimuli."

And now for the personal attacks against one of the foremost medical surgeons in the USA.
I agree with him...as does all the Dr friends I have. This woman is in a semi coma and could come out of it..50-50 chance.
The former husband is scared of that, as he has something to do with the condition she is in.
fyi
"I'll kill anyone I want. Go away.
Tell that b*tch to die already to coverup my mistake of denying her a lawyer.
And tell the stupid United States Congress to put their heads
where the sun don't shine. Remember, I alone rule. I am the Florida Supreme Mullah.
You may all now bow down before me."
That is very obvious
What? It took him a whole hour to figure that out? Any wonder it's taking them so long to step in and stop this execution.
I read here yesterday that she said she wanted to live. Why don't they play that tape?
I find it ironical that you argue that Frist, a heart surgeon, is absolutely correct in his diagnosis. It has been posted a number of times that Doctors with a differing opinion are absolutely wrong because the are not neurologists.
Do you sense an inconsistency ?
No former husband...Michael is still married to Terri while he lives with Jodi, who he has 2 children with.
< Any wonder it's taking them so long to step in and stop this execution. >
There's time to criticize later. Right now I prefer to be thankful for the help.
It is my understanding that POS wants the body cremated. I would hope that if she passes away they (Florida officials) would open a criminal investigation and have an autopsy before returning her remains to that POS.
CORRECTION
An attorney for Terri Schiavo said the severely brain-injured woman cried and yelled out that she wants to live after being told today her life-sustaining feeding tube was about to be removed by court order.

Frist can talk a good talk BUT CAN HE ACT?! Terri is being starved to death right now. When are the Repubicans going to act?
Maybe Frist should get his Vol a** down to Florida.
Now this may seem like a dumb question, but why can't protective services just simply step in and take custody of this woman. They do it for children and old people. If you had an Alzheimer patient being starved, they would step in. If a child were being kept in a dark room and not given any stimuli, and not fed, they would step in and arrests would be flying. Why haven't they done this in this particular case?
Perhaps because it wouldn't matter if the judge is legally blind? In fact, isn't it odd that the most compelling evidence of her true condition is evidence that the judge may not be able to see?
exactly
I hope that this idiots ruling wakes people up to what these judges who legislate from the bench are doing to this country. They need to be stopped.
