Email and Ask Doctor Frist: "Help from doctors in congress"
This is hysterical (or at least i thought so). On the nation's website -- under the action alert on the right side of the top page you can "Ask Doctor Frist"

this form letter comes with one-click action and says:

"Dear Doctors Frist and Weldon,

Last month, you were able to diagnose Terri Schiavo’s illness by watching a short videotape. It is great to know that physicians in Congress are willing to provide their services free to Americans who aren’t even their constituents, especially at a time when nearly 50 million of us are uninsured. I was hoping you might be able to diagnose a few of my medical problems.

{PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR SYMPTOMS HERE.}

Thank you for your time and for your dedication to quality healthcare for all Americans."

1. Dear Dr. Frist
My vet has not been able to diagnose what has been ailing my cat. His tummy is all puffy but his test results have all come back negative. I thought you might have some insight since you spent so many of your Sunday afternoons cutting up kitties. I could send you a video but you can't cut him up. Of course with your terrific diagnostic skills you should only need to see the video.

Mz Pip
