Quote from Covertibility:
Was he a real physician?
Frist's Political Future Darkens Over Questions on Stock Sales
Frist had his expertise as a physician called into question when he told senators this year that his review of video images suggested Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman, was ``not somebody in a persistent vegetative state'' and ``certainly seems to respond to visual stimuli.'' After a court battle over whether to keep her alive ended with her death, an autopsy found she had been blind and had a severely atrophied brain.

Another pathetic lowlife politician pandering to his electorate. You really have to wonder about the sanity of these people who distort their own professional opinions for a few votes.

Fifteen percent? Wow. You have got to be kidding me. The stock fell a whole 15%
Quote from dddooo:
...the SEC even more to chew over as it begins a formal investigation, with subpoena power, into Frist's contact with insiders at his family-founded and -run company.
A new analysis by my Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights has found that Senator Frist made between between $2 and $6 million by selling his HCA holdings just before stocks plummeted in the face of a bad earnings report. In addition, overly rosy earnings projections made by HCA executives just as Frist and HCA insiders were disposing of the stock en masse, point to a coverup by insiders intent on keeping stock prices high until a disappointing earnings report surfaced.
