Lawyers have ruined the lives of many more people than doctors and what is worse they have ruined society. Playgrounds are no longer putting in swingsets- why? Lawyers and lawsuits. Businesses are offering sucky low risk low return options for 401ks- why? Because of liability for idiots who make bad choices in investing their money. Lawyers create many more problems than they solve. I do not believe the same can be said of doctors. I say this as a lawyer who was on the way to medical school before I opted for law school. Law school was much easier than what I would have had to go through in medical school, and getting a PhD would have been even easier. All my friends went on to medical school and I admire them tremendously for their fortitude.

I have had extreme good fortune in meeting many wonderful doctors (cannot say the same for lawyers). The standards in this country are very high for acceptance to medical school- I do not believe there are schlocky unaccredited medical schools willing to accept anybody (in THIS country) but there are law schools like that- and they keep churning out the graduates.
