Grant Burgoyne, D-Boise, really was told by his physician, as he told the House, that the physician wouldn't honor his living will. Burgoyne asked, "Is my word not enough, good gentleman?" After the House went at ease and members of leadership, Burgoyne and Simpson huddled briefly, Simpson withdrew his question and apologized.
