...difficult to have a lot of sympathy for the few doctors that i know and have known...all are doing quite well *after* paying required insurance costs and most earn more than me...

Difficult to have a lot of sympathy for jealous socialists who think no one should be allowed to *EARN* more than they.

Are you trained to do brain surgery?

My uncle has been dead 20 years. He was an anithesiologist (sp?) and I remember hearing him say his malpractice premiums were $100,000. To my knowledge he was never sued. He practiced and taught in a medical school.

His oldest son had a plan, about thirty years ago, to go to law school, then med school and to sue doctors "because that's where the money is."

My cousin graduated from U of Texas law school but even with "pull" wasn't smart enough to get into U of T med school.

He does practice law and he does sue doctors; just wasn't smart enough to be one.

Sorry! I thought you were the "income envier."

I agree with you, not mc10.
