You come across as a typical idiot who likes to hear himself talk, regardless of looking at the other side of things. Lawyers have been bemoaned since the dawn of time.
As far as doctors being the pinnacle of morality, spare me. Medicaid fraud, overbilling, double billing, billing for services never performed, upcoding medical procedures, ordering nonsense diagnostic tests, are just as pervasive in the medical system as any other system.
Lawyers not policing themselves??? The last figure I heard, which I have yet to see refuted is that in upwards of 80-90 thousand people DIE in hospitals each year as a result of medical malpractice and negligence. So who is kidding who?
A lawyers job is to represent his client within the bounds of the law. If you were invesitgated for billing fraud by the State AG's office and you needed a lawyer, would you want the one who represented you zealously or the one who threw you to the wolves???? Oh, I forgot, you are a doctor, you are above reproach.
As far as too many laws on the books, knock on the legislatures doors, not mine.
As far as doctors being humble, give me another freaking break. People are people, lawyers and doctors included.
There are certain aspects of the legal system that people just don't get. For one, what would you do without a legal system if you had a dispute with someone? Some will go to the church, some will work it out with each other, and others, will kill each other. Our system is not perfect, it is far from perfect, but that does not make all its particpants evil.
You, and most others, do not realize that in most instances other than criminal law, that most law suits come as a result of people unable and unwilling to resolve their differences amongst each other like adults. Ego driven idiots, inflexible people, "principeled" people, are what what caused disputes to go to court.
Did you ever for a moment stop to think whether or not your "principles" were wrong??? I have clients all thew time get all worked up and want to take a "principled" stand while they themselves are wrong about the issue at hand. That is what you don't realize.
I do collection work for small businesses. Mostly for people in the trades who can't collect their money. However, in alot of the cases their is a reason they did not get paid. They either screwed up the job or performed crappy work. Yet, they still want to get paid 100%. Its the "principel" Oh what? Demanding 100% payment after performing crappy work???? That's the attitude I deal with and it is not the fault of the "system". Its peoples' inability to be somewhat objective of things.
So in these cases, where I can get them say 80% or 90% or something like that, they feel they got "screwed." HUH??????
I do not do criminal law because most of the people are guilty and I don't want my victory to be my sister's nightmare. So don't lump me in with that bunch alright????
I do not do divorce law because it is blood money.
I do not do PI because fighting with insurance companies is not my cup of tea.
So, I try to get people paid for services they performed who can't get payment for themselves. Tell me, does that make me a bad person?????
"You come across as a typical idiot..."
How humble of you to notice. I agree that despite 9 years of education post-college, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box.

and who sits there, licking their chops, rewarding bad behavior with hope of a blood meal?
"So in these cases, where I can get them say 80% or 90% or something like that, they feel they got "screwed." HUH??????"
And what percent do you make from this?

...but still can't manage to say something negative about your brethren? You rule, but who are your subjects?

That is between you and God.
