It’s usually a rotten apple that spoils the barrel. And I don’t think it’s any more (or less) true for lawyers. I read Overlawyered , a blog about frivolous lawsuits that highlights the need for legal reform. And while I agree that we need reform, both malpractice and otherwise, I’m always skeptical when I read it. I assume that there’s usually more background information than I’m being told. Case in point: the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit. We’ve all heard about it, probably talked about it with disgust. But when you read the facts of the case the media never presented , the black and white become shades of gray.
Lawyers aren’t all bad, either. Many (but arguably, not enough) work on important social issues protecting our rights and freedoms.
That all being said, I’m totally disgusted by this lawyer van sitting outside the ER . Had no idea they actually *did* that. Via EMedConcepts , a new ER blog.
