You're despicable... Where do you live, and do you work for a living? Do you have any loved ones in the military? Do you salute the flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Sen. Frist aids victims at South Florida wreck scene heraldtribune.com By BRIAN BANDELL Associated Press Writer Incoming Senate majority leader Bill Frist, a surgeon, helped authorities tend to six victims of a rollover accident on a Florida highway New Year's Day, earning praise from paramedics for stabilizing some of the four survivors. Frist, R-Tenn., a full time heart and lung surgeon before joining the Senate eight years ago, replaced Trent Lott, R-Miss., who stepped down as majority leader in December after making a racist comment. An Isuzu Rodeo with six people aboard was heading west on Alligator Alley when it rolled over 3 to 4 miles west of the toll plaza in Broward County at 3:51 p.m., Broward Fire-Rescue Assistant Chief Todd Leduc said. All six, including three children, were thrown out as the vehicle rolled. A 10-year-old boy died on the scene; another passenger died later at a hospital. Frist was driving east on the highway, the Everglades portion of Interstate 75, heading to a family vacation home in Fort Lauderdale with his two sons when he came across the accident, which had just occurred. He was working with the victims when rescue officials arrived. He told them of the conditions of the victims and assisted paramedics for about 30 minutes until the victims were sent to area hospitals. "Sen. Frist greatly assisted Broward County Fire Rescue. The Senate majority leader was really instrumental in helping us treat the victims," Leduc said. "We'd like to get in contact with him and recognize him for his efforts." The other four victims were transported to Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale and Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Leduc said. A 12-year-old was in critical condition. Authorities didn't release their identities. "As a doctor his first instinct was too help these individuals," said Nick Smith, Frist's communications director. "His heart goes out to the family involved in this horrible tragedy."
