Background:
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Tom Coburn, who has drawn ire from Democratic leaders in the Senate for blocking a number of bills, is also in the crosshairs of the Senate ethics committee for his continuing to practice his profession of delivering children.
Coburn is a family practice physician who specializes in obstetrics, but the ethics panel has told the Oklahoma senator he can no longer practice at the main hospital in his home town, Muskogee, because it is run by a for-profit organization.
Coburn spokesman John Hart told FOXNews.com that the ethics panel has wrongly interpreted Coburn's work as an endorsement of the Muskogee Regional Medical Center, a position Hart said is "asinine."
Coburn has said he'll keep doing what he's doing.
Coburn has earned the name "Dr No" for all the bills he has blocked. His view is the bills costs to much, and should be paid for not added to the debut. To settle as yes the Senator has to still be delievering babies at the main hospital in his home town, Muskogee. To settle as no he can't be delievering babies at the main hospital in his home town, Muskogee, because the Senate ethics committee made him stop. This will suspend Decemeber 30th 2008. Theres to many reasons to list that he could stop delievering babies at the main hospital in his home town, Muskogee. Thats what "other outcome not listed" option is for.

I hope you repost, its a funny market. I think its pretty silly that they are trying to make him stop, but on the other hand I'm pretty surprised he has the time. I don't think I'd want my OB doctor off in another state half of the year.
