Snake Meet Grass
Frist expected to get medical board fineWASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will probably be fined and have to make up for failing to do continuing medical education that Tennessee requires of doctors with active licenses.
Additional disciplinary action, such as suspending his medical license, is unlikely, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Health said Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Andrea Turner said Frist, a prominent heart-lung surgeon before coming to the Senate in 1995, is expected to be fined $40 for every hour of continuing education he did not complete. He also will have to make up the missed hours of continuing education within the next six months and do an extra 10 penalty hours within the year, she said.
How exactly can you not be sure if you did the 40 hours of required continuing medical education? I mean you either did it or you didn't and you know if you completed it ot not, given well you were there...Or you weren't as the case may be and there is no hazy point there. Flat out he lied and he knows he lied. That's Republican "ethics" for you at their finest! I know it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it you? The "fine" is not nearly stiff enough if you ask me!

That figures. I knew he'd get away with it.

They always do. There are not real consequences for them it seems.
