Multiple spouts about doctors and lawyers, and the high cost of service brings me back to the days when there was a family doctor who knew your family and would come to your home on a phone call, if the situation warranted. Today, it is we'll see you in a week, or more, and then you are referred to a specialist for a special test. The dentist would fill a tooth and pull a tooth. Now, you are referred to a specialist. The most important duty of a lawyer is the retainer. Lawyering and doctoring is becoming another job for folks in need. The winner is not the patient or client.
