Why do lawyers work so slowly?
Yes, I know, all those of you related to such people will be jumping up

I panic when presented with clinical situations even vaguely related,
going way over the top to make sure I can't possibly miss anything out.
I dread bumping into the person(s) concerned, after each letter reminds
me I shop elsewhere and take detours when driving.
I feel I am being watched and judged - by whom? don't know, irrational?
yes, but there are times ....
Why does it have to progress so slowly?
