Republican Slick Willie Frist May Have Lied On His Medical License Renewal |
Frist medical license renewal questioned
By NANCY ZUCKERBROD, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist acknowledged Tuesday that he may not
have met all the requirements needed to keep his medical license
active -- even though he gave paperwork to Tennessee officials
indicating that he had.
The state of Tennessee requires its licensed physicians to complete 40
hours of continuing medical education every two years.
Frist, a heart-lung surgeon who is considering a 2008 presidential
run, submitted a license renewal with the Tennessee Health Department
stating he has fulfilled that requirement.
Responding Tuesday to repeated requests from The Associated Press, a
Frist spokesman said the Republican senator may not have done his
continuing education after all, and had contacted the Tennessee Board
of Medical Examiners to see if corrective steps were necessary.

Aren't the Republican Elite exempt from the rules that the rest of us
must follow? Seems to me I heard that somewhere...
