A lawyer comes to the emergency room complaining that he can’t see out of his left eye. The one who examines him is the physician who blogs at Fingers and Tubes in Every Orifice:
“What do you do for a living?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
“I’m an attorney,” he proudly responded. “You’ve probably seen my ads on the highways.”
“Yes, yes. A fair settlement is no accident.” (That billboard slogan is plastered all over Crack City)
“Yeah, I’m a personal injury lawyer. I have no problems telling doctors that. I get better care that way, actually. Makes you guys more careful around me.”
“Yes, I know you very well, Mr. Cochran. You were the plaintiff attorney accusing me of being a baby killer, remember?!”
Pausing briefly to let him absorb the full irony of the situation, I continued, “As to being more careful around you, all that means is that you’ll have a bigger medical bill because of all the unnecessary tests and consultations, but I personally treat everyone the same regardless of the circumstances.”
You’ll want to see what happens in the rest of the story (Fingers and Tubes In Every Orifice, Jan. 2).

Wow- great find! After reading the rest of the blog entry, I see hope that there is justice in the world after all.
Even more satisfying than seeing that reckless driver blow by me on the highway the other morning, only to find him pulled over by a cop a few miles later. I love that!
