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 :)
