It takes longer to become a doctor than a lawyer. If you have a smart doctor, you still will die. If you have a smart lawyer, you will never get in trouble. If the doctor loses, the patient dies. If the lawyer loses, there is always an appeal.
Lawyers have to pass the bar once.
Doctors have to pass the boards repeatedly. The weak and sick call a doctor. The strong and rich call a lawyer. 2001 Grand Forks Herald. All rights reserved.
