From Brittanica: Shark malpractice lawyers are scavengers. They feed off the remains of inept and sloppy medical providers. In doing so, they perform a vital service for the ocean community by removing sick and unhealthy doctors from the environment.

Whatever you want to believe is fine with me but frivolous malpractice suits cost US untold millions every year. Honest lawyers are there for when a malpractice suit NEEDS to be filed but they are way out-numbered by the sharks.

"Honest lawyers are there for when a malpractice suit NEEDS to be filed but they are way out-numbered by the sharks."

I admit that there are some lawyers who possess the same scruples as your average businessman and will do anything for a buck, but most lawyers are more professional than you realize. Malpractice suits are not easy to win. Most of the time the lousy doctors and hospitals get away with it. parsy
