Knoxville before Sundquist ruined our health care could make the same claim. Now even it's level 1 trauma hospital's care is questionable. I saw a bad medication reaction be missed by 2 attending E.R. doctors at two different hospitals and three more after admission to the second one. What's worse is I had to show the attending doctor a pharmacutical alert written by the hospitals teaching professor.
As for Sundquist IMHO he is headed for the HCFA or equivelent when his term expires in January. Look for this jerk to be put in charge of national health care issues policy making.
As for "Not Guilty" Fred that's fine with me he's sitting it out he needs to get out of office. A man who had earlier took on and helped bring down the most corrupt southern governor in the past century didn't even try in his committee hearings. His following Not Guilty vote was the last straw for me.
