Dr. Frist looks like an old Boy Scout. He is in way over his head. Probably a great surgeon but a weak politician. He helped to write the failed Senate version of the national law to save Terri.
Yes, I'm sure he's a wonderful person and a great doctor, and I've read he does a lot of surgery on trips overseas, for children with severe problems.
He's not prepared to deal with some of the politicos in DC who are nothing less than thugs, however.
