[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former BigLaw lawyer, from a top ranked law school.  My good friend is an ER doctor, from a middle-ranked school.

I am blown out with respect for her.  She actually can make a real difference--a life and death difference, and does all the time.

I'm almost 50 and so are many of my friends, so a common theme is: "I am entering into the second half of my life.  I want to leave the planet a better place.  (Besides raising good kids) What can I do to make difference?"

My doctor friend does not have to mull over this one.

I vote doctor.[/quote]

You mean she is great at consults? ER docs don't deal with life and death. They exist to turf patients.[/quote]

Hey hey now this is getting personal! Don't tell me an ER doc doesn't deal with life and death until you'be manually pumped someone's heart (as in with your own hands) as a desperate last measure to save their life. [/quote]

LOL as if ER docs ever do that in their careers. Maybe 1 in 100 of them? And ER thoracotomies are hack jobs with poor outcomes done by Cowboys - don't step into the ring unless your ready to play.[/quote]

100 out of 100 lawyers will never do that is the point [/quote]
