Calling Dr. Feelgood

Medical ethicists like Dr. Kenneth Prager, chairman of the Medical Ethics Committee at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, say it's "inappropriate" for Frist to make an armchair diagnosis. "A diagnosis should be made bedside by a neurologist. He's not a neurologist, and he wasn't bedside," Prager said.

Just so you know we're talking about Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn) who fancies himself somewhere between a Doctor turned telepathic and the 44th President of the United States.
