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
