I arrived at work Tuesday, May 4 for an early meeting and found this truck parked outside of my ER in physician only parking.
Our security staff chased him from the physician parking, but he spent the rest of the day camped on the corner diagonally opposite the ED. I guess it must work or they wouldn't be doing it.So this is what has happened to two grand professions in a world where capitalism has triumphed over common sense.
Holy crap. I didn't know there were seriously lawyers who *did* that. I just thought it was hyperbole. Sick.
ReplyDeleteAll too typical, I'm afraid. I'm an adjuster and I have a case where a father was driving with his two minor children as guest passengers. The dad ran off the road, hit a tree, injuring his children. What to do? Well, an enterprising lawyer came up with the answer: We'll sue yourself on behalf of your minor children (in order to get to your insurance company) and claim that you were negligent. In essence, the dad is saying, "I'm a moron....give me some money."

ReplyDeleteIt's called "Taking ambulance chasing to the next level."
ReplyDeleteAs if doctors don't have enough things to worry about. My OB-GYN had to retire and my dad, a practicing OB-GYN came pretty darn close to it b/c of malpractice.
Lawyers are great when they're needed, but there's that tag: "when they're needed." I think it's sick when they advertise their services on TV.
I'll shut up now :)
