We all remember Frist’s embarrassing diagnosis of Terri Schiavo without examining her (a diagnosis that turned out to be 100% wrong).

Now he’s revealing his skills as a surgeon:

Frist was now sputtering. "This is an affront to me personally. It’s an affront to our leadership. It’s an affront to the United States of America!" Turning sorrowful, he vowed that "for the next year and a half, I can’t trust Senator Reid."

"Mr. Leader," one stunned journalist observed, "I don’t remember you being so exercised over something before."

"You’ve never seen me in heart surgery," the senator, a transplant specialist, replied.

Dr. Frist’s patients — not to mention the Tennessee medical licensing board — may be surprised to learn that he had operating-room rage.

Yikes.  Remind me never to have Frist perform surgery on me.
