[USMA:24190] Senator Bill Frist on our side?

[James Wentworth]

Today Senator Bill Frist (Republican, Tennessee) will almost certainly be elected the new Senate Majority Leader.  He could be a valuable and powerful ally to our cause.   Senator Frist is also a medical doctor (a heart surgeon).  Being a physician, he would understand how recording all patient masses and heights in kilograms and centimeters would prevent needless deaths from under-doses or over-doses of medications.  Also, he once owned a medical firm that was fined for billing fraud.  Supporting a metric patient data agenda would be a way for him to at least partially "rehabilitate" his honor as a doctor.  --  Jason
