Colleagues
I have to admit some of the recent anti-lawyer comments on GP-UK smack of smug self satisfaction (doctors are the only professionals who help people) and suggest that doctors have the copyright on professional ethics and community service. Patently Bullshit!
My engineer brother repeatedly points out (correctly) that sewage engineers have probably saved more lives, at less cost, than doctors. Our legal contributors have advanced a rational and reasonable examples of their contribution to the betterment of society.
We can deplore the excesses of the legal system, but we should equally deplore the excesses of the medical profession. Our profession has, and continues to be, involved in some less than professional and ethical practices. We live in glasshouses
