A Glimpse into U.S. Health Care 

A Glimpse into U.S. Health Care

As the Bush administration has discovered, sometimes the doctors that scream the loudest about malpractice insurance are ... perhaps not the best doctors. (Via Tapped and Atrios).

What interests me even more is the story saying doctors are trying to establish an official policy that the Hippocratic Oath does not require medical treatment (except for emergency treatment) for lawyers.

Is a vet required to stop and treat every animal by the side of the road?

I guess they could borrow from the abortion debate and say some potential patients don't have lives--only potential lives. That in turn would raise the issue "whether these organisms are sentient--whether they have something like normal brain function."

OK, enough is enough. Whatever is wrong with lawyers, it is probably not a lack of brain function.
