The Cure for Lawyers
Between the blustering bullies in Washington (most of whom are lawyers) and Apple trying to sue away iPad competition by claiming a patent on a rectangle with a screen in it, my opinion of lawyers, which never was very high, is now lower than the current approval rating of Congress. I have an idea for solving the problem. It will require some help from the American Medical Association though. I would like them to adopt my interpretation of the Hippocratic Oath ( you know, the “first do no harm” thingie).
If doctors are required to “do no harm”, and the practice of law causes harm, then treating lawyers so that they continue to live and work does in fact cause harm. Therefore doctors should be required NOT to treat lawyers.
And yes, I understand that sounds like the way a lawyer would twist something away from its intended purpose. I rather like the irony…
