Forehead smackers
Jun. 16th, 2005 01:35 pmFirst up is Frist, who tries (and fails) to backpedal and rewrite history in light of the Schiavo autopsy. Let's see. . . Bill Frist before and Bill Frist now.
So he's willing to make a mess of people's lives on 'evidence' gleaned from the media, but isn't willing to go for any hard evidence until it's too late and the autopsy report is made public. In the media. Now there's some scientific integrity, folks. If our physicians got their information from the popular media and based their diagnoses on that information alone. . . well I don't think many of us would survive very long.
I'm also forced to ask whether anyone bothered to do a CT scan or MRI of this woman? Wouldn't that have solved the problem long ago? It seems all she ever got were external exams and EEGs, the results of which were obviously up for interpretation. A CT scan would have been pretty damn clear, wouldn't it?
And here's another forehead-smacker from right here in Iowa. Some oldie knocks up one of his young Amish employees and a whacky custody battle ensues. *sigh*
