You make too many assumptions here. I know doctors talk down to people...but they usually only do it to ME once. It doesn't take them long to realize that I know something about the way the human body operates and something about both disease and injury.

I don't hold them in superstitious awe, that's for sure. An educated layman today knows as much as a doctor did 70 years ago, if not more.

I think lawyers have a tendency to play word games with the truth (like arguing the meaning of the word "is," for example--very funny, btw). They're experts at semantics and at confusing the issue, where it's usually in a doctor's best interest, and the interest of the patient, NOT to confuse the issue.
