  1. Agreed. Then we ban ambulance chasers from society altogether.
    Tort reform is needed so bad it isn’t even funny.
    Bloody lawyers… and they wonder why no one likes them.

  2. Warwick, as a lawyer who’s drafted tort reform legislation, I have to say I think you overgeneralize, at least if you’re equating “ambulance chasers” (i.e., the tort plaintiffs’ bar) with the entire legal profession. It’s only SOME of us that really need to be gotten rid of. 😉

  3. lol. I tend to do that. I have a corporate lawyer in the family. Don’t think he’d like it if I put him in the same category as the ambulance chasers.

  4. I’m actually glad you posted this because I heard this on the TV news and meant to send you something on this, Cathy.
    Replace the word “fat” with something else – like “herpes, AIDs, the clap, pregnancy, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes” – you name it. “I don’t like the diagnosis because it is a reflection on how I live my life”…it hurts my feelings so I’ll sue the doctor. I guess the alternative is for the doc to say something innocuous that won’t help get to the root of the problem, but that really wouldn’t be helpful. Don’t blame the lawyers on this one – this is truly a case of an idiot patient. Somebody grab a clue….starting with the appellent.

  5. The medical Board disciplined the Dr. not a lawyer. But what the hell why let facts get in the way of your hate.

  6. aa: The New Hampshire state attorney general became involved. The medical board bowed under to this pressure and then censured the doctor. Thus the post.

  7. Severe weight problems, when untreated, can lead not only to heart disease, type-two diabetes, and the accidental night time asphyxiation of loved-ones, but also to an excessive fondness for Paul Williams and cats.

  8. Look, it’s only the 95% of lawyers that give the rest of them a bad name!
    (I work for a personal injury law firm. And they’re good people pursuing legitimate claims.)

  9. The Doctor’s direct language is his sincere attempt to help his patient improve her health.
    Bland language in his view would serve no purpose and thus simply waste everyone’s time.
    Lawyers who enforce genteel language use in the doctor’s office are practising medicine.
    Not only is that against the law, it points to a malaise in Canada and the USA where lawyers would be well advised to return to higher standards of principle so as not to lose the public’s respect any further.
    Now onwards to major problems, like the Canadian government, who are laying the groundwork to silence approximately 6,000 office workers in fourteen departments for not 7 years or 14 or 21 years, but for LIFE!
    A government that is desperately holding onto power in the face of non-confidence votes, vote buying and now abandonment by the NDP faction.
    Will Paul Martin call a snap election before Conservatives can work up in he polls ? [ Launch a new TV series]
    Yes, very possible. It would avoid the next non-confidence vote without NDP support and railroad the Gomery Report to the secret vault, guarded by 6,000 bureaucrats sworn to secrecy for LIFE.
    Stealth and subversion now reign in Canada and it is crying out for light to be shed by the MSM and the blogosphere. 73s TonyGuitar

  12. “I wonder if anyone will find this website offensive….?
    http://www.stupid.ca
    It’s funded by the Government of Ontario.”
    I do. I think they really crossed the line with that one, and the commercials they run too. Like the one with the girl that rolls in the dog doo and compared it to smokers. Way over the line….and if it was in the US, someone would have sued them over it by now.

  13. I agree with aa. This isn’t really a tort lawyer problem. While the atorney general is a lawyer, he’s not really similar to a tort lawyer. He certainly doesn’t get a big pay boost for winning the case. I blame the medical board. I can’t imagine why they agreed to it, but the ruling is their fault. I bet if you looked more closely there’s some personal vendetta or inter-doctor competition going on.

  14. I didn’t realize that physicians treated lawyers; I always thought that lawyers were treated by veterinarians.

  15. Right on, although there should be an exception for a lawyer spay and neuter program.

  16. Right on, although there should be an exception for a lawyer spay and neuter program.

  17. *Bard* Redux says there will be peace in the world when the last polititian is hung with the guts of the last lawyer..
    and Mystry Meat’s groud-breaking neuter and spay program for Lawyers and the world will be whole again.
    You guys are a riot, and skilled policy makers.
    I’ll second that! 73s TG

  18. lawyers should only get 50s style horse vet treatment…
    hahahahahaha
