Both are great professions, but I think because Dr's get sued a lot the Lawter may be the one who cleans up

It depends. If your a doctor that specializes in a new field and work in a big hospital you'd be making more than a small town lawyer. But if you were a big time lawyer working in a big city and with wealthy clients you'd make more than a small town doctor. All depends on what you do in each profession and where your located.

Our legal system is based in English law, My question to you is how do you differentiate between a frivolous lawsuit and one that has merit. If a Dr. cuts off the wrong leg shouldn't he be held responsible for it. I know that is extreme, but some company's put out dangerous products and without a warning some people would get hurt. How do you best decide who is responsible if not in a court of law. I admit some lawsuits are just plain wrong, but how would you suppose that it be decided.

A licensed doctor has to abide by the state licensing board he is licensed by, which includes ethical treatment of patients.

No, some of the most successful and helpful doctors are those who waited to enter med or vet school.  It tends to make you more aware of life and the suffering of others, whether human or animal.

A Doctor of Medicine is your best bet.

They are required to under law to pay taxes.  It is not uncommon to go after people in such professions on tax evasion charges, when the DA really wants to lock them up.\n\nPersonally, I think the profession should be legalized and regulated.  Such a move would tremendously reduce one vector for disease, and also prevent a lot of the physicial and emotional abuse that goes on. Clearly outlawing it doesn't make it go away, so you might as well live with it and remove as much crime and misery from it as possible.

they both need to burn a while for this one, as do the defense attorneys who are cashing in on it.

Several reasons.  One, they often represent criminals accused of horrible crimes, and do their best to get them acquitted.  While doing so is essential to a just legal system, people often blame the lawyers for doing "too good a job."\n\nSecond, many of them really do make a ton of money off of the misfortunes of other people.  Chemical plant leaks and gives hundreds of people cancer?  Yippee, a tort lawyer's gold mine.  You get the picture :)\n\nMy father's a lawyer, and a couple of my best friends are.  I know a lot of them.  By and large, they're highly ethical, honest, hard-working, and very intelligent people.  But there are still an awful lot of lawyers out there that aren't ethical at all, and will do anything for money...that's true in any profession, but lawyers who do that are often quite visible in society :)\n\nGood luck with your studies.

I do not beilieve that a lack of emotion by a doctor helps his judgment or his ability to treat. I believe that in my experiance some of the best doctors I have had care for me were the ones able to empathise with my situation and feelings.

I really like that one.  I hate lawyers.  They always screw you financially.  That was a good laugh from the belly.  Thank you!

I happen to be a lawyer.  I was somewhat older when I started law school (30), so there wasn't an illusion of showing up to save the world from all of the injustices, however, I wanted to be really good at what I did.  After working in private practice for 4 years, I struck out on my own.  It has been a struggle to establish a solid client base, but I love being my own boss, getting to pick and choose what cases I want to take, and setting my own hours.  It really gives me a lot more time to spend with my family.  Not the typical burning the midnight oil scenario.  What I truly despise are the people who stereotype the entire legal profession as power hungry, greedy, blood sucking vultures.  That is entirely untrue, and while there are unsavory persons in any profession, many attorneys in my community are truly concerned and caring individuals who volunteer their time on many occasions to help those less fortunate.  Enough said!!

Recently a niche has opened in the medical industry for nurses with legal training and lawyers with nursing training. It's a unique combination and should be investigated. There is also a need for nurses with administrative training. I would recommend checking into both to further professional development.

Im a legal assistant at a law firm and my advice is to hire a very good lawyer. I see stuff like this all the time.

I don't believe they go hand in hand, like cyanne claims, but they are certainly not polar opposites as you seem to claim.  Law is not about money, it is about ethics.  The problem is that law is written by politicians, and politics is about money.  You can group together law and ethics, you can group together law and politics, but you cannot group together politics and ethics.  Law is that which is torn between the two.

Unfortunately it's all about entertainment.  Same thing with actors.  Millions of people paying for the same product in sports and entertainment.  Whereas a doctor or other profession only has the one patient at a time and can only ask for so much in payment.  Doesn't seem right, but it's about where the money, better yet how many people it's coming from.
